How can I update my project with a single file or changeset from a VCS repository? Follow
Very often, I do not want to update my whole project with all changes from the Subversion repository.
I would like to select single files (or at least single changesets) to update. How can I do this?
Using the "filter by" dropdown in the changes view will only allow me to filter visually, but whenever I right-click on a file or changeset and select "update froject", the whole project will be updated with all pending changes.
This is very, very important to me. I would appreciate your help very much!
Thank you!

Open, the file, in the editor, right-click, choose <VCS Name>->Update. (for example, with CVS, it's CVS->Update.)
Thank you very much vor the hint!
But this does not quite solve my problem:
I two people check in the same file, but I just want one of these changesets to update. How may I do this?
Thank you very much in advance!
You only want one set of changes to affect the repository or one set of changes affect your local files?
The latter.
I want to update my local working copy with one single changeset or file from the repository :-)
You mean only the changes that one person makes? With CVS, that can't be done. Maybe with Subversion it's possible, but I wouldn't know how.
Yes. With subversion you can update any single file of a changeset. Some IDE Plugins like SVNKit for Eclipse let you update a complete changeset, single files or everything.
PhpStorm is one of the best IDEs I've ever seen, and simply the best for PHP. But the integration of Subversion is a total, unhandleable mess. Just yesterday I used ZendStudio for Eclipse to merge two branches because I couldn't find a way to do this in PhpStorm ^^
Thank you very much for your continued help, Keith!
