Remote State

The remote state signals, what would happen in case of an update on HEAD (see Update). The remote state of files is displayed in the file table column Remote State. See Remote State Types for the list of possible remote states of files and directories.

Remote State Types
Latest The local file is equal to the latest revision of this file in the repository. An update on this file will bring no changes.
Will be modified For the local file there exists a newer revision in the repository. An update will bring the corresponding changes for this file.
Will be removed The local file has been removed in the repository. An update will remove the file locally.
Will be added This file does not exist locally currently in a versioned state. An update will add this file.
Obstructed For the local file there is something wrong, either locally or locally in combination with the repository. For instance for the local file, the the latest repository revision might contain a directory with the same name.

To display the complete remote state information, especially the 'Will be added' state, it may be necessary to add directories and files to tree resp. table, which do no exist locally. To such directories and files the special local state 'Remote' is assigned, see File States and Directory States.
