When one person working on a CVS-managed project checks in a new directory in CVS, NetBeans offers no intuitive method for the rest of the team to pull down the files in that new directory. The authors of CVS made the command-line client require a -d argument to the update command in order to create new directories that have been added to the repository since the project was checked out. NetBeans follows this behavior, except that it offers no way to provide the -d argument. One can pull these new files by - manually creating the new directories - performing a CVS->show changes on each manually created directory (selecting a parent directory won't work for this purpose.) - performing a CVS->update on at least one of the files that shows up in the CVS window as new, as a result of the prior step. I feel that: - one should be able to see all the files that have been updated through the CVS interface, assuming no access privilege issues. - one should be able to update the whole tree in one operation. I've been told by multiple people who've used NetBeans with Mercurial and Subversion that those interfaces do not experience this problem.
This issue also existed in NetBeans 6.1 and 5.5. It is not new.
