Browse changes
Today, I came across a situation where I wanted to see all of the CVS changes
since a specific tag was laid down (against the whole project). I didn't
find any way do this in IDEA, but I did stumble across the Browse Changes
option, which let's you search for changes by person or by before/after dates.
Since I knew approximately when the tag was laid down, the date search would
work fine. However, when I ran the search, it failed with the following
CVS output:
c:\progra1\jetbra1\intell~1.0\bin cvs log -N
cvs server: invalid option -- S
Usage: cvs rlog [-r[revisions]]
[-w[logins]]
-l Local directory only, no recursion.
-R Only print name of RCS file.
-h Only print header.
-t Only print header and descriptive text.
-N Do not list tags.
-b Only list revisions on the default branch.
-r[revisions] Specify revision(s)s to list.
rev1:rev2 Between rev1 and rev2, including rev1 and rev2.
rev1::rev2 Between rev1 and rev2, excluding rev1 and rev2.
rev: rev and following revisions on the same branch.
rev:: After rev on the same branch.
:rev rev and previous revisions on the same branch.
::rev Before rev on the same branch.
rev Just rev.
branch All revisions on the branch.
branch. The last revision on the branch.
-d dates Specify dates (D1<D2 for range, D for latest before).
-s states Only list revisions with specified states.
-w[logins] Only list revisions checked in by specified logins.
(Specify the --help global option for a list of other help options)
Command finished ( 3 )
c:\progra1\jetbra1\intell~1.0\bin cvs log -N
cvs : Can't parse date/time: 1969-12-31 19:00
Command finished ( 0 )
Two questions here. One, is there any way to browse the changes since a
specified tag? And two, what's wrong with the Browse Changes function.
I don't even see "S" being tried as a parameter.

Have you had a look at the TMate plugin? It's not free, but you'll be amazed
how quicky it pays for itself.
HTH,

I had played with it once, but couldn't get it working right in the 5 or
10 minutes I had to play with it. Probably should have spent some more time
on it. Maybe I'll try it out again.
Still, I feel like, since it's there, the Browse Changes should work.

But TMate needs a server-side component "shielding" CVS/svn right?

Marius.
Does that mean that many IDEA/TMate users could each run the
serverside component on their machine without the various TMate
serverside-components getting into the way of each other? Would each
user have all information available or would this approach have
limitations (other than a waste of CPU-cycles & memory ;) )?
