Description Jiri Kovalsky 2003-10-01 14:50:55 UTC 
Development build #200310010100 of NetBeans 4.0
Windows 2000 SP2 with JDK 1.4.2 build 28

Description:
============
Default "CVS|Locking|Lock" command locks always
last trunk revision even if certain branch is
checked out. It may lead to some confusion if user
does not double check the result.

Steps to reproduce:
===================
1. Mount CVS filesystem using command-line client.
2. Update some file to some branch.
3. Invoke "CVS|Locking|Lock" command on it.
4. Invoke "CVS|Log" to find out that the trunk was
locked.
Comment 1 Martin Entlicher 2003-10-01 15:08:21 UTC 
Then it looks like a bug of cvs. The manual says:

-l[rev]

Lock the revision with number rev. If a branch is given, lock the
latest revision on that branch. If rev is omitted, lock the latest
revision on the default branch.

I suppose that the "default branch" should be the current branch to
which the file is updated?

I'll check the behavior...
Comment 2 Jiri Kovalsky 2003-10-01 19:50:53 UTC 
Yes, I saw the help too. My understanding was that '-l 1.3' will lock
specific revision, '-l myBranch' will lock last revision of myBranch
and '-l' will lock last revision in main trunk. Maybe it's really
failure of cvs.
Comment 3 Martin Entlicher 2003-10-02 08:31:38 UTC 
A simple solution would be to always ask the user.
But perhaps we should find the branch name from Entries and if there
is one, give it to the lock command by default. The same must be
performed for unlock then.
Comment 4 Jiri Kovalsky 2003-10-02 11:55:38 UTC 
Yes, I had something like this in my mind ...

This bug was reported against NetBeans IDE 6.0 or an older release, or against a non-maintained module. NetBeans team does not have enough resources to get to this issue, therefore we are closing the issue as a WONTFIX. If you are interested in providing a patch for this bug, please see our NetFIX guidelines for how to proceed. 

We apologize for any inconvenience.
