Difference between revisions of "CVS/Subversion - Export"

Latest revision as of 20:20, 11 October 2017

This feature is available in UEStudio only.

The "Export" command in the "CVS / Subversion" drop down in the "Version control" group of the Project tab opens the Export dialog. From here, you can export modules from the CVS / Subversion repository. Exporting is similar to a checkout, except it allows you to create a copy of the files from the repository / module without the CVS administrative directories. Exported files cannot be updated, committed, or otherwise returned to the repository.

This dialog includes the following options.

The Account drop down includes all CVS and Subversion accounts you've configured in UEStudio. If an account doesn't already exist, click the Modify button to open the Version control module manager where you can add, modify, and remove CVS and Subversion accounts.

The Module drop down lists the top level directories in the CVS / Subversion repository. Click the Update button to update the list of modules in the repository. The exported module will be created as a subdirectory of the Local root path.

Add files/folders

These settings relate strictly to UEStudio projects and are not directly related to the repository.

• If New Project is selected, then files exported through this dialog will be opened under a new Project. When the Export button is pressed the Project Settings dialog will be launched and the new project parameters may be defined.
• If Current Project is selected the specified files would be opened under the active project.
• If None is selected, the files are simply exported to the local root path with no changes to the project.

Export options

If Use module name for export folder is checked, then the module name will be the name of the folder under which the files being exported will be written in the local copy directory defined in the Local root path field. If unchecked, the Folder field will activate, allowing you to define the name to be used here.

If Export default HEAD branch is checked, then the most current revision of the specified module will be exported. If unchecked, the Branch/Tag field will activate, allowing to define the branch / tag to export instead.

Click the Export button to retrieve the files for the specified module and branch from the server.
