In eclipse there is a "Team Synchronizing Perspective" that basically does a directory diff to the cvs repository. It is very handy. For various reasons I am looking to move to intellij. Is there an equivalent in intellij with either cvs or svn?
Thanks.
Yes. As there's no concept of "perspective" in IDEA, there is the equivalent — a panel called "changes".
IntelliJ IDEA 10 supports CVS, SVN, git and other popular version control systems out of the box. See the version control feature page on the JetBrains website for more on this.
for IntelliJ , in the "changes" or "version control", there is a tab that name is "incoming". you can see the list of you need updating...
sorry, my English is so weak.
Scratch my old answer. You just need to right click whatever folders or files you want to commit and choose commit from the context menu, then you will get a new window where you can review changes before they are actually committed to the server.
