The tree is an intuitive representation of what has been done on different branches by which authors. As tooltips, you can see the corresponding log messages. The list is by its nature linear and, therefore, does not give an immediate view of branches; on the other hand, it concentrates more otherwise relevant information on less screen estate, namely the time of each change of the file and the first part of the log message. The CVS output information is complete, but long, and difficult to read. To alleviate these problems, you have the ability to search the text of the CVS output, by pressing the <guibutton>Find...</guibutton> button. </para> + +<para>To obtain more information about a certain revision, you can click on it either in the list or the tree view. The fields in the middle of the dialogue are then filled with the complete information provided by <command>cvs log</command>. You can mark two revisions, called "A" and "B", which are relevant if you make use of further features provided by the buttons. Revision "A" can be chosen with the left mouse button, revision "B" with the middle one. In the list view, you can also navigate with with your cursor keys. In order to mark revisions "A" and "B", use the keybindings <keycombo><keycap>Ctrl</keycap><keycap>A</keycap></keycombo>, <keycombo><keycap>Ctrl</keycap><keycap>B</keycap></keycombo>, respectively. Using the <guilabel>CVS Output</guilabel> view, you can click on the <guilabel>Select for revision A</guilabel> and <guilabel>Select for revision B</guilabel> to mark the revisions. </para> + +<para>If you press the <guibutton>Annotate</guibutton> button, you get a dialogue showing the text of file belonging to the revision marked as "A". Every line is prefixed with the information about who edited this last time, and at which revision this happened. You can get more information about viewing annotated versions in <xref linkend="annotate"/>. </para> + +<para>If you press the <guibutton>Diff</guibutton> button, a <command>cvs diff</command> call is issued and you get a dialogue in which all the modifications between the two marked revisions are shown. If you mark revision "A", but not revision "B", &cervisia; will generate the modifications between the file version marked as revision "A" and the working copy version of the file. This allows you to view the differences between your version of the file and any version available in &CVS;. To make it easy to see the changes, different colours are used to mark lines which have been added, removed or simply changed. You can get more information about viewing differences in <xref linkend="diff"/>. </para> + +<para>If you press the <guibutton>Create Patch...</guibutton> button, you get a dialogue in which you can set the format options for generating a file containing all the modifications between the two marked revisions which are shown. If you mark revision "A", but not revision "B", &cervisia; will generate the modifications between the file version marked as revision "A" and the working copy version of the file. This allows you to generate a patch, or difference file, between your version of the file and any version available in &CVS;. After configuring the format of the patch in the dialogue, and pressing <guibutton>OK</guibutton>, a <command>cvs diff</command> command is issued to generate the difference file. A <guilabel>Save As</guilabel> dialogue will pop up. Enter the file name and location of the patch file &cervisia; generated, in order to save it.
