[ BUILD # : last Q-build ] [ JDK VERSION : 1.5.0_02 ] When changing something in a Java document VCS indicator changes to 'Locally Modified'. When undoing the change, the indicator is not changing back to 'Up-to-date'.
It always worked like this. We do not store the original copy, so we do not know that the file happens to match the original. This can not be P2, it's nothing serious, there's Refresh for such cases. The timestamp of the file is different from the timestamp of the last retrieved copy (stored in CVS/Entries), therefore the file is reported as [Locally Modified] until you run Refresh on it. I do not think this will ever be implemented, at least not in the near future. Can I have guaranteed that the editor has unlimited undo and that after all undo's the file is in the original state? Scheduling for future, might be resolved as wontfix in the future. The implementation is problematic, it must be carefully thought out.

> How you manage backtracking of *-badge ? That is a job of Editor, I do not do that. But the *-badge is there just till the file is saved, therefore it's easier. It's enough to remember the number of changes and undos since the last save. What do you request is to remember the number of changes and undos instantly across all save operations if the file was Up-to-date originally. This is likely possible, but it needs to be evaluated whether a dependency on Editor would be required and whether the added value is worth the effort, as this does not seem to be much common use-case.
Thanks for your comments. As I remember wright the cvs-refresh didn't work correctly in former netbeans versions. There the only chance for [Up-to-date] was to post a new commit to the repository. Now the cvs-refresh feature works fine. Perhaps for backtracking via undo remember the undo-stack position in cvs-[Up-to-date]-state.
