Yes, that's an interesting feature of the Eclipse CVS Plug-in. You
checkout something from CVS, modify it and create a patch. Later you can
apply this patch in any workspace. :) See Team -> Create/Apply Patch...

Well, the patch extracts the CVS specific parts from
FetchScriptGenerator into a pluggable FetchScriptBuilder (see
CVSFetchScriptBuilder). It also introduces a new COPYFetchScriptBuilder,
which generates plain copying Ant tasks for copying features and plugins
into the build environment.
The decide which FetchScriptBuilder to use the map file syntax was
expanded. The first argument is now expected to be the ID of a
FetchScriptBuilder to use.
In general, the new format is:
type@element=<BUILDERID>,otherArgs,..
Example:
feature@my.feature=COPY,D:/snapshot_views/stable,clearcase_vob/features/my.feat
ure-feature
Will copy feature "my.feature" from
"D:/snapshot_views/stable/clearcase_vob/features/my.feature-feature".
Property "fetchTag" is also supported to define another location.
If "fetchTag" is set to "D:\snapshot_views\latest" the effective path
would be
"D:/snapshot_views/latest/clearcase_vob/features/my.feature-feature".
The old syntax is *still* support:
plugin@org.eclipse.draw2d=I20040619,:pserver:anon...
and can be combined with the new:
plugin@org.eclipse.draw2d=CVS,I20040619,:pserver:anon...
If you want to integrate Subversion you just need to build a
FetchScriptBuilder that knows about Subversion specific Ant tasks and
generates them into the fetch scripts.
Cu, Gunnar
