Source Control Icons
Following are descriptions for the primary icons that you may see next to files when using Subversion.
Icon |
Description |
---|---|
|
Modified This indicates that the file has been modified. You can commit the file when you are ready (if you are the user who has modified it, or if you have stolen the lock on the file from another user). |
|
New File (Add) This indicates that you have a file in your project but have not yet added it to Subversion. This might occur, for example, if you create a new topic and do not add the file to source control during the topic creation process. To resolve this, simply right-click on the file and select Source Control > Add. |
|
Locked by Another User This indicates that another user has locked the file. You will often see this icon in conjunction with the icon, indicating that another user is using the file and has locked the file. You can make changes to this file even if another user has locked it. If you need to commit the file in while another user is working on it, you can steal their lock. To do this, right-click on the file and select Source Control > Lock. In the Lock dialog, select Steal the lock, then click Lock. |
|
Locked by You This indicates that you have locked the file. You will often see this icon in conjunction with the icon, indicating that you have both locked and modified the file. Other users can make changes to this file even if you have locked it, but they cannot commit it unless they steal the lock from you first. |
|
In Use by Other User This indicates that the file is currently being modified by another user. You will often see this icon in conjunction with the icon, indicating that another user is using the file and has locked it. |
|
Renamed This indicates that a file has been renamed, but not modified in any other way. If you make any additional changes to the file, such as editing the text or adding a condition tag, the renamed icon is replaced by a icon. |
|
Out of Date This indicates that the file is not current (i.e., the local copy of the file is older than the source control copy). This might happen, for example, if another user modifies the file and commits it to source control. If this occurs, you can modify the file or update the file from source control. |
