The remote state shows the files' repositories states compared to the local working copy. It can also be interpreted as the action that would happen when updating the working copy to HEAD (see Update). The remote state of files is displayed in the file table column Remote State, the remote state of directories is displayed in the tooltip for a directory. See Remote State Types for the list of possible remote states of files and directories.
Unchanged | The local entry is equal to the latest revision of this entry in the repository. An update on this entry will bring no changes. |
Modified | For the local entry there exists a newer revision in the repository. An update will bring the corresponding changes for this entry. |
Removed | The local entry has been removed in the repository. An update will remove the entry locally. |
Added | This entry does not exist locally, currently in a versioned state. An update will add this entry. |
Obstructed | For the local entry the latest repository revision contains another entry for being added. An update will fail here. |
To display the complete remote state information, especially the 'Will be added ' state, it may be necessary to add directories and files that do not exist locally to the directory tree or the file table. To such directories and files the special local state 'Remote' is assigned, see Common Primary File States and Primary Directory States.
