last comment
option remembers your previous commit comment and makes it
the default for subsequent commits. You can always override the comment, of
course—
IDEA
even selects the comment, allowing you to easily type over it. The
option
Put focus into comment
places the cursor inside the comment box each
time comments are requested, saving you the trouble of doing it yourself. The
third option,
Force non-empty comment
, warns you with a confirmation dialog if
you attempt to check in a file without comments attached.
Setting the default keyword substitution mode
The
Default keyword substitution for text files
option in the in the
Ve r s i o n
Control
panel
is designed for advanced
CVS
users. It controls how
CVS
handles
different types of files that are checked in to the repository. Here are the choices:
Binary
—Corresponds to the command-line option
-kb
■
Compression
—Corresponds to the command-line option
-kk
■
Expansion
—Corresponds to the command-line option
-kkv
■
Expansion
locker
—Corresponds to the command-line option
-kkvl
■
Replacement
—Corresponds to the command-line option
-kv
■
No substitution
—Corresponds to the command-line option
-ko

If you aren't familiar with keyword substitution in
CVS
, you probably won't need
to touch this option.
Configuring your project to use a CVS repository
IDEA
maintains a list of
CVS
Roots,
which are references to configured
CVS
reposi-
tory connections. Before you can enjoy the benefits of
CVS
integration in
IDEA
,
you must configure a
CVS
Root
entry that corresponds to your
CVS
repository
account. When you specify
CVS
as the version control system for your current
project, the
CVS
menu becomes available on the main menu bar and its
Config-
ure
CVS
Roots
command is enabled. This command is the principal way to main-
tain your list of
CVS
Roots (although, like many of
IDEA
's configuration panels,
you can often reach it in the middle of an operation and configure it on the fly).
In
IDEA
5.0, the specific version control system menu (such as
CVS
) has been
moved. On the main menu bar is a general
Version Control
menu, and the
selected version control system is shown as a submenu.
