This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
Open the "Show Changes" view for a project with an incoming change that adds a new file (so a new file was added to the remote repository). Right-clicking that new new file does not present you with an option to pull in the file and add it to the working copy. To do that, you have to "Update to HEAD" the entire folder containing the new file. This is unfortunate since that folder might contain other changes you do not want to pull in yet. I'm using Subversion. It could be that a similar issue exists for other version control systems.
fix: http://hg.netbeans.org/core-main/rev/0f459d4e13a8
Integrated into 'main-silver', will be available in build *201407040001* on http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/nightly/ (upload may still be in progress) Changeset: http://hg.netbeans.org/main-silver/rev/0f459d4e13a8 User: Ondrej Vrabec <ovrabec@netbeans.org> Log: #245325 - allow adding incoming file in "Show Changes" window without updating entire folder
Just to confirm this works fine in 8.0.1. Thanks for the fix!
