Managing Archives and Revisions
Checking In—
State Settings
For more information on this
more structured use of state
settings, consult the States
configuration option and the
Promote and Demote SAM
permissions.
For example, the following command reassigns the label “Revised” to
the revision being checked in to prog.c archive.
ci -u -NRevised prog.c
To reassign a label from one existing revision to another in an archive,
use the rcs command. To reassign the label “Revised” from another
revision of prog.c to revision 1.1 of the same file, enter the command
rcs -NRevised:1.1 prog.c
At check-in time, state settings are added with the -sstate option to
the ci command, where state is the state setting for the new revision.
State settings can also be used to establish and enforce promotion
policies at your site.
For example, the command
ci -sReview prog.c
checks in prog.c and sets the state of the new revision to “Review”.
Viewing and Editing Archive Information
Just as it maintains metadata about each project member, Source
Integrity also maintains extra information about each archive, called
archive information.
In the Windows interface, you can view and edit information about
an archive using the Archive > Archive Information command. Unlike
most Source Integrity commands, which can be accessed from
sandboxes and projects, this command is available only when an
Archive window is active.
To see an archive’s information:
1. With an Archive window active, choose Archive > Archive
Information, or click .
The Archive Information dialog box appears.
