Checkout Module with WinCVS

We are going to checkout the “CVSBranchTest” module from CVS server. If the CVSBranchTest module does not exist in CVS server, please refer to “Import Module with WinCVS” in this document.

Step 1: Create -> Checkout module…

Step 2: Type in checkout module/directory, “CVSBranchTest”, in Checkout settings window.

If the Override option is not checked and “Checkout as” is not assigned, this checkout process will create a directory named “CVSBranchTest” under the path listed in “Local folder to checkout to” text box.
