There should be FS-independent commands (e.g. cvs checkout, cvs import, etc.). This is important so that it's not needed to mount a VCS filesystem. You can perform checkout and the checked out folders will be recognized as VCS filesystem after issue #25744 is implemented.
Changing target Milestone to 4.0 and adding PROJECTS keyword. This needs to be implemented into 4.0, because there will be no straightforward mounting process in the new projects framework. It's necessary to have at least CHECKOUT command FS-independent so that the user can checkout sources without mounting a filesystem and then have the sources automatically recognized as a VCS filesystem.
This is necessary for smooth projects integration => upgrading to P1.
I'm working on this. The set of commands will not be tightly bind with the VCS filesystems, each filesystem will hold a reference to it's set of commands which will be stored globally and shared among several VCS filesystems. This approach will make the profiles customization more friendly, changes to the profile will be immediately reflected in all filesystems, that use that profile. Also the process of mounting new VCS filesystem will be much faster (with the exception of the first one of the given type). The profiles could be customized in global options. This is more a feature of vcsgeneric module, so I'm changing the component.
This is fixed on prj40_prototype branch. An infrastructure for global commands is ready, basic CVS commands are implemented.
Yap, it is possible customize Global VCS commands from Tools->options->...Generic VCS Profiles" in proj build: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 200308260000)
