Info

• A case-sensitive depot allows users to create two objects in the same directory, with names that differ only in their case (e.g. makefile and Makefile). • A case-insensitive depot (default) does not allow two objects in the same directory to have names that differ only in their case. A depot’s case-sensitivity can be changed with the CLI chdepot command, as follows: You can always change a depot’s case from insensitive to sensitive. You can only change from sensitive to insensitive if the depot contains no elements. See chdepot in the AccuRev CLI User’s Guide for more information. Exclusive locking Selecting the exclusive file locking option causes all workspaces created for this depot to use AccuRev exclusive file locking. See File Locking on page 271. The New Workspace Command The New Workspace command creates a workspace, with a particular stream in a particular depot as its backing stream. The workspace can subsequently be reparented to another stream in the same depot. Invoking the New Workspace Command You can invoke the New Workspace command in a number of ways: • Choose File > New > Workspace from the GUI main menu. • In an Open Workspace dialog, click the New button. Note: To open this dialog, select File > Open Workspace from the GUI main menu, or click the button on the GUI main toolbar. • Choose New Workspace from the context menu of a stream or snapshot in the StreamBrowser. Using the New Workspace Wizard AccuRev prompts you to specify the settings for the new workspace with a multiple-screen "wizard". The New Workspace Command: Screen 1 of 3— Specifying the Depot and Backing Stream Video Tip Click this link to view an introductory video on creating a workspace. With the File > New > Workspace command, there may be no "current stream" context. In this case, AccuRev starts with this screen, prompting you to specify a stream context: 20 AccuRev® On-Line Help Guide
Depot Select one of the repository's depots. This populates the Basis Stream listbox with the streams (and optionally, snapshots) of the specified depot. Basis Stream Select a stream or snapshot, to act as the backing stream for the new workspace. Note: Is it advisable to base a workspace on a snapshot You can create new versions in a workspace based on a snapshot. But you won't be able to promote those versions to the snapshot (which is immutable, and so can't "accept" new versions). To get one or more of the versions out of the workspace, you can: • Reparent the workspace to a dynamic stream, then promote the versions you've created in the workspace. • Using the File Browser in another workspace, open one of the version tools on a particular element. Then use the Send to Workspace (See “The Send to Workspace Command” on page 129.) command to get the version that was created in the snapshot-based workspace. AccuRev® On-Line Help Guide 21
