RE: [Subclipse-users] subclipse:tags - not remembering branch/tag details

Hi Mark

Thanks for the quick reply! That worked perfectly, and the FAQ entry
explains WHY the folder isn't up to date, even though I thought it was
(which I have to admit I was puzzled by for a while).

That was the last thing stopping me from feeling completely comfortable
with Subversion/Subclipse (I'm used to CVS) so I'm now going to take
great pleasure in hurling PVCS out of the window. Whoever convinced my
company to use that over SVN or even CVS needs a good talking to......

Great plugin btw!

-Richard

It is stored in a versioned property. You have to commit the property
change in order for it to be stored in the repository. You cannot
commit
a property change on a folder unless it is at the head revision. That
is
why you get the out of date message. So you need to run Team -> Update
on
your project prior to committing the property change.

See this FAQ on the out of date error:
