[Subclipse-users] getContents and getRevision

Hello,

I am again getting back to an issue I mentioned in an earlier mail. This time I
want to revert a committed file to an earlier revision from the repository. I
go to the Team menu and choose "replace with"->"Revision..". I get a revision
history view, and when I right-click on a revision, I see the 2 options
getContents and getRevision. I am left clueless.
I choose getRevision (or was it getContents?), and it seems that now the local
file is set back to the given revision, but there is no change to the
repository (i.e., everybody else that checks out still gets the newest
revision).
It seems, in oder to achieve my goal, i now have do getRevision on the head
revision again, and then do getContents on the earlier one. But all in all I am
so confused that I rather go get me a cup of coffe first.
I also I still remember the mess I got last time with the compare tool when I
mixed up getContents/getRevision.

I think these processes need to be made much clearer, with only options offered
that make sense in the given context. Right now you can do so many strange
things..
