If you are working on a file in your project in eclipse and for some reason you need to change the contents of that file to be the contents of the same file but a different revision within the repository, then you would think that the Replace with, Branch/Tag or Revision would do what you need.

I find however that the implementation of this function is not quite as expected (and not the same as when using the same function under CVS).

I would expect that the contents of the current revision are replaced with those of the selected revision (just as though you have made these changes by manual editing) and that as a result this file now needs to be committed.

Now this is exactly what happens if you choose the Revison option - that is a revision in the same branch. You are shown a list of revisions and if you right click you can 'Get revision' or 'Get contents' - Get contents replaces your current files contents withe the selected revision contents and leaves your local copy in need of a commit.

If you select a revision from another Branch/Tag then a 'switch' command is run and your local copy is switched to that branch. You will notice that the SVN icon changes to blue. If you team, update this project, your file switches back to the one on your own branch.

Does anyone else think this behavior is incorrect?
