The History view of a file lists all
the change sets, one per line, that include the file. You can open
any of these change sets in the Change Explorer view
to see more detail about individual items in the change set.
About this task
Every file in a repository appears in one or more change
sets. The change history of a file can be expressed an ordered list
of change sets in which it appears.
To view the change history
of a file:
- Select the file whose history you want to view. There
are several ways to do this:
- In the Eclipse Navigator view
(or any Eclipse view that supports Team operations), right-click
the file and click .
- In the Pending Changes view, right-click
a component or workspace that includes the file and click Show
Repository Files to open a Repository Files view
listing all the projects in the selected component or workspace. Right-click
a file in the project and click Show History.
- Open a change set in the Change Explorer view,
then right-click a file in the change set and click Show
History.
Change sets that include the file are listed in descending
order, with the oldest change set at the bottom of the list. If a
version of the file is loaded into your Eclipse workspace, the change
set that includes it is displayed in bold. Move your mouse pointer
over a change set to see more information about it. If the file has
been merged, a graphical merge history is displayed in the Merges column.
- Right-click a change set and choose an operation to initiate
on it. Supported operations include:
- Open in Change Explorer opens the change
set in the change explorer.
- Open File opens the version of the
file that is in the selected change set.
- Annotate opens an annotated view of
the version of the file that is in the selected change set. For more
information, see Viewing annotations.
- Locate Change Set opens the Locate
Change Set window so you can find other instances of this
change set in the repository. For more information, see Searching for a change set in another workspace or stream.
- Load loads the version of the file
in the selected change set into your Eclipse workspace. If the file
is already in your Eclipse workspace, you are prompted to confirm
that it can be overwritten.
If you select multiple change sets, some operations are disabled.
