Description Michael Gänsler CLA 2003-02-26 05:11:31 EST 
Its currently not possible to update only one folder within a module. I'm only 
able to update the whole project or selected files.
Comment 1 Michael Valenta CLA 2003-02-26 09:20:37 EST 
This works for me (i.e. I select a folder and choose Team > Update and it 
works). Please reopen and provide more specifics about the failure case and 
other related information (CVS server version, any special project setup, etc.)

Also, only the severity is set by the reporter. Priority and milestone are set 
by the component developers.

I used two different CVS Modules in one project. When I tried to commit parts 
of the one, the whole project (both CVS Modules) has been commited. We are 
using CVS V1.11.5 and Eclipse 2.1 RC1.
Comment 3 Michael Valenta CLA 2003-02-26 12:04:52 EST 
I assume you mean that one of the modules is nested inside the other and there 
is no way to perform an operation on only the immediate children of a folder 
and not include it's subfolders. Changed title from "Unable to update a folder" 
to reflect problem.

A workaround would be to use the sync view Team>Synchronize with Repository). 
This still traverses recusively but would make it easier to select a subset of 
the resources to be committed.

Comment 5 Michael Gänsler CLA 2003-03-04 10:13:31 EST 
Thats right, but to clarify the problem here the structure of my project:

+ Project X
----+ Module A
    ----- File1.java (modified)
    ----- File2.java
    ----+ Dir1
        ----- File3.java (modified)
        ----- File4.java
        
----+ Module B
    ----- File5.java (modified)
    ----- File6.java

Whereas "Module A" and "Module B" are two different modules from CVS. When I 
try to commit all files within "Module A", Eclipse also commits "File5.java" 
in "Module B".
Comment 6 Michael Valenta CLA 2003-03-04 11:40:07 EST 
I am unable to reproduce this (i.e. I created a setup much like the one you 
describe and selecting module A and commiting leaves any modified files in 
module B alone).
Comment 7 Michael Gänsler CLA 2003-03-04 11:43:59 EST 
It seems to me, that this problem has gone with the RC1....

This bug has not been touched for 2 years. Closing as WONTFIX. Please reopen if 
you feel this is still an important issue.
