Description Jon Nall CLA 2004-09-23 17:42:30 EDT 
in the java perspective i have a project with a number of packages. if i right
click on a package name, and choose Replace with->Latest from HEAD, all modified
files in the _entire project_ are replaced with the latest copies from HEAD.

this seems unintuitive. if i right click on a package, only files in that
package should be replaced. if i want to perform an operation on the entire
project, i would right click on the project name.

i'm running 3.0.1 linux x86/gtk

Do you mean the entire project, or all packages. The CVS operations don't
understand that packages are non-hierarchical in the UI, and a replace operation
will run deeply. This means that if you have the following package structure:
o.e.ui
o.e.ui.parts
o.e.ui.actions
If you replace o.e.ui, it will actually replace the other packages as well.
