Basic VCS operations can be accessed through the VCS menu. Most of
these functions act on the current selection, i.e. on the selected items
in the VCS Explorer if it is present, or on the currently selected
file editor, or on the currently selected item in the
Tools->Views->Files
.
In most cases, the VCS contextual menu offers more control on
VCS operations. See The Version Control Contextual Menu.
Open or raise the VCS Explorer. See The VCS Explorer.
Update the source files in the current project, and all imported sub-projects, recursively.
Query the status of all files in the project and all imported sub-projects.
Create a tag or branch tag starting from a specific root directory. The name of the tag is a simple name.
Switch the local copy to a specific tag. The name of the tag depends
on the external VCS used. For CVS this this the simple tag name, for
Subversion the tag must conform to the default repository layout. For
a branch tag this is /branches/<tag_name>/<root_dir>
.
