This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
Situation: Let's say I have two major releases of my project. Each major release is its own branch. The minor releases have their locations tagged in CVS, but are on the major release branch. 2.0 2.0_1 2.0_2 2.1 2.1_1 2.1_2 A bug is found in 2.0_1 that is super critical, and I need to release a 2.0_1a immediately. In all version of netbeans prior to 5.X, I could create a tag at the location of a different tag. So, using the above example, I could create a branch tag at the 2.0_1 location at any time. Now, this is impossible. Some other tool (like WinCVS or Netbeans 4.X) must be used. I like the new streamlined CVS interface, so long as it does not take away features that, while not being used often, are necessary. One of the reason I chose Netbeans all those years ago was for the awesome CVS integration and it continues frustrates me that these advanced options are completely gone now.
Tentativelly targetting for 6.0.
Upon retesting it now with 5.5, I see that the issue is a bit more complicated. Here are some symptoms: - XML (non-ANT) files seem to show correctly, and change when the font settings change - Once the first ANT file is opened, the settings are fixed at those values and changes to the font settings are not applied - It seems the font in the diff tabs does change, but the line spacing is off so the lines do not match up with the line numbers.
Sorry for those last comments, I clicked on the wrong link and those are for a different bug: 80085. If the powers that be can remove this and the preceding comment, please do so.
Reassigning to CVS for evaluation.
Being assigned to a wrong component, seems the issue has gone off target.
I am disappointed to see this get put off again. Although I didn't use it every day, it was something that I did use in versions prior to 5.0 (when it was removed). When this needs to be done, there is just no way to do it in Netbeans now and a separate tool is needed (like Netbeans 4.1 or WinCVS). Is this not a priority since subversion is becoming so popular? Also, since Netbeans used to support this, and does not anymore, this seems more like a defect than an enhancement request.
This is not about priorities, it would most probably have made it into 6.0 but since it was assigned to 'ide' instead of 'cvs' component nobody from cvs team saw it in the 'todo' list.
