Comparing Files In CVS

Use this to compare versions of files that are under CVS source control. You can compare a file with its immediate predecessor, or you can compare with any of the file's previous revisions.

To compare a file with its immediate predecessor:

With the file selected in the navigator, choose Source Control | Compare with Previous Version.
If there are no differences, a message is displayed. Otherwise a CVS report of the differences is displayed.

To compare a file with another revision:

With the file selected in the navigator, choose Source Control | Compare.
Previous versions of the file are listed in the Compare CVS File dialog. Select the one you want to compare it to.
If there are no differences, a message is displayed. Otherwise a CVS report of the differences is displayed.
