Committing changes to existing files

1. Edit some existing files in a CVS project
2. Choose Team>Commit on the project from the Navigator
3. The commit dialog should show a preview of the files that are to be committed and allow a commit comment to be entered.

Some things to try:

• Committing a project (or selected resources) that contain no changes will prompt to indicate this.
• Files can be removed from the preview area and these will be excluded from the commit.
• Clicking OK without entering a comment should prompt.
• Emptying the preview area will disable the Finish and show a "no changes" message.
• Try different page layouts (compressed, tree and flat)

Committing new files

1. Add a few new files to a project including some with unknown extensions and some with no extensions.
2. Choose Team>Commit on the project from the Navigator
3. The first page of the commit wizard will allow you to configure the file types for any new files whose content type cannot be determined.
• Configure some to be remembered and others to be only applied to this commit (verify after that this was done properly)
4. Click Next and verify that the content type was determined properly.
5. Choose to ignore one of the files and verify that the file is removed and the .cvsignore appears.

Committing files contained in a Change Set

1. From the Synchronize view, select all the changes from the same Change Set.
2. Choose Commit and verify that the comment in the commit dialog is the one from the change Set.
