:-) yes, each of these source systems has a language all its own!
Fortunately CVS and SVN have the same root so thats one mercy.
The project is all stored in the repository (all versions since you first
created it there or committed your existing source files for the first
time).
In eclipse (and other CVS/SVN client tools) youcan checkout the entire
project, and the most common files you want are the latest ones these are
the default files you will get if you don't ask for anything else.
eclipse lets you 'replace' your working copy of a project with another
version from the repository. This other version it identified by a tag (yes
a label) that you have previously told CVS/SVN to apply to a particular set
of files.
It could be that this tag was applied a week ago and that since then further
changes have taken place to the source code but these changes are not
ready/tested yet so you don't want those. Thats what the tags are for to pin
down a particular consistent set of files from the repository.
I have always applied tags to all files (so I click on the top folder in the
project) but in response to your request I tried just 3 files. Then I asked
eclipse to replace my current version of the project with the version
represented by the tag. All I got was
/rootfolder
/subfolder
/subsubfolder
file1.cfm
file2.cfm
file3.cfm
So I could zip/tar this up and then expand on the production server
overwriting just the 3 files as required.
After this is done I can ask eclipse to 'replace' my project with the latest
version and I will get all the project back again with latest changes.
Does that make it clearer?
