Description Kevin McGuire CLA 2002-05-23 14:47:14 EDT 
You can't just delete the task we generate to tell you that you have a resource 
not under version control.  For those cases where you neither want to version 
control it nor ignore it, it would be good to just be able to delete the task.

Since its an information task, it seems consistent to be able to manually get 
rid of it.

CVS tasks can be disable in the preferences page but this would turn off all 
CVS tasks. To delete tasks on a single resource is not as easy as it seems. The 
state of a resource is used to determine whether a task exists or not. To 
support this, we would have to maintain additional state to indicate that the 
task is not to be displayed.
Comment 2 Michael Valenta CLA 2002-05-23 15:32:28 EDT 
A more general solution would be the ability to hide individual tasks in the 
task view (and maybe a setting to show hidden task so they can be unhidden if 
desired).
Comment 3 Kevin McGuire CLA 2002-05-23 18:39:43 EDT 
Why is "Mark Completed" disabled (in the task list UI)?  Then you could delete 
completed.
Comment 4 Michael Valenta CLA 2002-05-30 08:27:22 EDT 
There is a difference between a user generated task (which you can mark 
completed) and a error/warning/info marker (which are not tasks so they cannot 
be marked as completed).
Comment 5 Michael Valenta CLA 2002-05-30 12:13:20 EDT 
Moving to 3.0
