Description Martin Entlicher 2003-08-22 14:33:32 UTC
PVCS and VSS systems do not store any
configuration files in users working directories
(VSS stores vssver.scc file, but it is not
readable as plain text, PVCS can have vcs.cfg but
it's not required).

Thus in most cases it is necessary for the user to
manually setup configuration of these version
control systems through VCS Manager.

In order to keep the information about versioned
directories persistently, a special settings
folder can be created in PVCS and VSS directories
after the configuration is set up from the VCS
Manager. These folders can be used as well as a
persistent storage of cached file status
information.
Comment 1 Martin Entlicher 2003-08-22 14:39:39 UTC
For PVCS we can create ".nbpvcs" folder in every PVCS working
directory. In the .nbpvcs folder located in FS root there will be
"Config" file with configuration settings like repository location,
etc. In every .nbpvcs folder there will be "netbeans.cmd.cache" file
with cached file status information.

In a similar approach we can create "nbvss" folder in VSS working
directories.
Comment 2 Martin Entlicher 2003-11-20 12:38:54 UTC
Removing PROJECTS keyword, scheduling for promo-D.
Comment 3 Martin Entlicher 2004-05-03 17:55:18 UTC
Auto-recognition will not be in promotion D. Scheduling for future.
Comment 4 Martin Entlicher 2004-11-01 16:29:28 UTC
Auto-recognition of CVS and other systems was abandoned for
performance reasons.
