I have submitted this as an enhancement request, but would like to
post it here in case anybody has any work-arounds/ideas:
I am working on a partial branch and need the cvs update -f switch -
which asks the update operation to pull the latest version from HEAD
if it is not on the branch. This option is available in both WinCVS
and Tortoise. Please don't make me use WinCVS anymore!
Apart from adding this option for updating, it would be nice to allow
the ability to supply switches to a cvs operation. Or enable Eclipse
to read from something comparable to .cvsrc so that options not
available in Eclipse can still be performed.

Doesn't Eclipse handle this properly already. I mean, if part of a
project is checked out from a branch but the rest is from HEAD, if you
do an Update (or better yet, Synchronize) won't it automatically
compare/update based on the branch that each file is known to be working
from (HEAD or other)?
I think an experiment is in order, because I'm pretty sure I've done
this before. Unfortunately, I don't have access to a sandbox CVS
repository any more so I can't conduct the experiment.
HTH,
Eric
