Controls which version control system MULTI uses.
MVC - MULTI Version Control. Green Hills Software provides this version control system as part of MULTI.
Default: (varies per versioncontroltype)
Command prepended to all the other version control configuration strings. For instance, if vc_command is "mvc", and vc_checkout is "co", then to check a file out, MULTI would issue "mvc co filename". It is ok to leave this blank if it's not required.
The version control configuration strings are provided in case your site requires a slightly different syntax. Attempting to set up MULTI to automatically use an arbitrary unsupported version control system by modifying the settings for, say, ClearCase, may or may not be possible. If you are so inclined, the best hope for success is probably with ClearCase selected. Any changes to the defaults for a system may break support for that version control system (until you restore that system to the default settings).
MULTI uses this command to determine if a file is under version control. Only used with ClearCase. If the output of this command begins with the name of the file being checked, the file is considered to be under version control.
Command to check out a file from version control for editing.
Only used for MVC and RCS. Command to get a read only copy of the latest version of a file.
Command to undo the effects of a check out. Reverts to the latest version of the file in the repository and restores the file's checked-in status (if applicable), discarding any edits since the check out.
Command to check in a file as the latest version.
Command to check in a file as the latest version without entering any comments into the version control logs.
Command to put a file under version control for the first time (i.e. have version control start managing a file).
Command to output a list of versions a file has gone through, with optional comments or information about each.
Only used for ClearCase. Command to check which user has this file checked out. Output of this command is the username who has this file checked out.
Only used for ClearCase. Used to get version number for the previous version of a file.
Resets the version control configuration strings to their defaults for this system. This also happens when you switch to another version control system and back.
