In the status area of the window, you find the authentication/CVS server
information that was used to check out this working copy. When working with
the module, you'll have to enter your password every now and then (at most
once everytime you open the module). All other information like server name,
port, and CVS root is stored in the module's "CVS" files.
Following that, the local working folder location ("Folder:") and some statistics about
the files in the module are displayed.
The "Folder:" shows one of two paths:
- If some entries in the module window are selected and all selected entries are
located in the same (sub) folder, the path to this folder is displayed in
italics.
- If there is no selection or the selected items are spread over different folders,
the path to the main CVS module directory of this working copy is displayed
in normal text.
In the module window's main area, a single line (for a single CVS entry) contains
the following information.
- Status flags.
- File/Folder Name.
- File Encoding. See also: Encodings.
- Sizes of data fork and resource fork in bytes.
- Modification date and time of the file.
- The file's CVS revision number.
- Sticky options, if any.
- Sticky Tag/Date information, if any.
How can such a CVS entry look like?
- Unknown
- Marked with a '?' in the first column, drawn in light grey. These files
are new and are not under CVS control.
- Modified or Locally Changed
- Marked with a bullet, drawn in red. These files have been changed locally
and need to be committed.
- Lost
- Marked with an 'L', drawn in red. These files are missing in the Mac
folder. MacCVSClient has found a CVS entry for those files but the file
itself is missing.
- Conflict
- Marked with a bullet and a 'C', these files contain conflicts.
- Normal
- Unmarked, drawn in black.
Some CVS commands like diff or log produce file specific output. If one of those commands is
executed on a file, the corresponding output is stored. This output
can be viewed in MacCVSClient as described later.
In case there is such file specific output available for a file, this is indicated
in the status flag area of the file:
- Diff Output
- Indicated by the Greek letter delta.
- Log Output
- Indicated by the ® sign.
A folder entry shows how many files in it are Lost, Modified, etc..
If the folder itself contains subfolders, number pairs "A/B" will be shown instead
of single numbers. Here, A is
the number of files Lost, Modified, etc. in the folder itself and B
for the folder and all its subfolders.
If a module is defined in the CVS modules database, it may not have a real module folder
in the CVS repository. In a checked out module, all folders defined in the modules
database and not having a real folder in the CVS repository are marked by a small
cross just next to the module name on the right.
