CVS: Commit Dialog Box

The CVS Commit dialog box enables you to commit local changes in version-controlled files to the repository.

The dialog box enables you to do the following:

Element Description

Add a message to your commit

Use the Commit Message text area to add text describing the commit.

View files in the commit

The files included in the commit are listed in the bottom pane of the dialog box.

Exclude individual files from the commit

You can choose to exclude any of the listed files from the commit by selecting the file and then choosing Exclude from Commit from the drop-down list in the Commit Action column.

Set the MIME type for new files

You can set new files (displayed in green text) to be committed as either textual or binary data. To do so, select the file and choose Add as Text or Add as Binary from the drop-down list in the Commit Action column.

When entering a commit message, you can view previous messages by clicking the Recent Messages button located in the upper right corner of the dialog. A dialog displays, listing recent commit messages.
