Bug 21674

Description Roberto Scaramuzzi 2002-07-17 17:08:35 EDT

From the CVS preference page, do the following: 

1) set the default keyword substitution to -kkv
2) Press the export button to export preferences
3) reopen CVS preferences
4) import preferences from the same file

The default keyword substitution field is now set to the default (-ko)

The problem here is that the -kkv option is saved in
.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.team.cvs.ui/pref_store.ini as an empty string;

(see the first line of the following method in
org/eclipse/team/internal/ccvs/core/client/Command.java)

public String toMode() {
    if (KSUBST_TEXT_EXPAND.equals(this)) return ""; //$NON-NLS-1$
    return getOption();
}

 The export function apparently does not export empty strings, so the value of
the property is reset to the default on import.
