Synchronizing my Eclipse CVS Branch with the Head

Question

I'm working on a "branch" in Eclipse .

Some changes were commited on the "HEAD" branch.

How can I easily update my branch so that it can be synchronized with the HEAD ?

Thank you

PS:

What I did, but I'm not sure it's the best method, is :

• I commited my changes to the branch I'm working on
• Right Click > Switch to another branch or version ... > Head (It puts the HEAD in place of my branch)
• Right Click > Merge ... (Then I select where I merge the HEAD and here I choose my branch).
• Finally, I : Right Click > Switch to another branch or version ... > My Branch and here I get my branch

Is there a cleaner way to do it ?

Thank you.

Answer 1

The best way to do it is to right click on the project in the branch and select Team->Merge. Merge the changes done in HEAD with the branch using the Tagging concept.
