Does anyone use Accurev for Source Control Management? We are switching (eventually) from StarTeam to Accurev. My initial impression is that the GUI tool is severely lacking, however the underlying engine, and the branches as streams concept is incredible. The biggest difficulty we are facing is assessing our own DIY tools that interfa...
Example: $ svn copy foo.txt bar.txt A bar.txt When would you use this technique, and why? Will this command (taken from svn's "red book") creates a copy of <foo.txt> while preserving the history of it to be shared with <bar.txt>? If I'm changing <bar.txt>, what will happen to <foo.txt>? What are the equivalents to thi...
I have an executable that runs instantly from a command prompt, but does not appear to ever return when spawned using System.Diagnostics.Process: Basicly, I'm writing a .NET library wrapper around the Accurev CLI interface, so each method call spawns the CLI process to execute a command. This works great for all but one command: acc...
I am in the process of switching to AccuRev from another SCM. I have quite a few projects and am struggling how to properly lay them out in AccuRev. I have quite a few related projects and would like to keep them in a single depot, but I haven't found out how to separate them so you can keep track of individual projects. In other words...
My question is about the way in which GIT handles branches: whenever you branch from a commit, this branch won’t ever receive changes from the parent branch unless you force it with a merge. But in other systems such us Clearcase or Accurev, you can specify how branches get filled with some sort of inheritance mechanism: I mean, with Cl...
We are trying to decide between AccuRev or Perforce. We have a small team, and need something that is easy to learn. Which of these version control applications is easier to learn and more user friendly? ...
In AccuRev, when I look at the history for a file (in "history mode"), I see a list of the actions that were taken on the file. Each action has a number (#) and a version. When I click on one of these actions, another list appears that shows each of the files that was involved in the action (including the one whose history I'm investig...
Hi All, I recently installed the 64 bit version of XP on my new development machine, and subsequently installed AccuRev. One thing I noted was that the ignore rules I previously used on my 32 bit machine in the ACCUREV_IGNORE_ELEMS environment variable are not being applied. Has anyone else encountered this? ...
How is performance in the current version (4.7) of Accurev? time to checkout per 100mb, per gb? time to commit per # of files or mb? responsiveness of gui when 100+ streams? I just had a demo of Accurev, and the streams look like a lightweight way to model workflow around code/projects. I've heard people praising Accurev for the str...
Is it possible to search for/view all "stale" files within the currently selected directories. N.B. I'm using the acgui tool rather than command line. ...
I am using the AccuBridge plugin for AccuRev. This plugin uses the acdiffgui tool for carrying out diffs. The acdiffgui tool lives in /usr/bin as a symbolic link: acdiffgui -> /opt/accurev/bin/acdiffgui This works fine within Eclipse; I can diff two files with no problem. However, the acdiffgui tool is rather limited and I would like t...
In linux, I need once I login to accurev, the PS1 changes to the following: suppose my workspace placed in the path ~/myfiles/accurev/ws/myworkspace <username>@<machineName> : ACCUREV > so, when I for example cd to ~/myfiles/accurev/ws/myworkspace/myproject1/org/daz/ , the PS1 be : <username>@<machineName> : ACCUREV/myproject1/org/d...
With Subversion (SVN) we can view versioned files over HTTP i.e. we can view a Java file in a browser by supplying a URL such as: http://teamserver/svn/repos/project/trunk/MyClass.java Is it possible to do something similar with AccuRev? I only require read access to the file. ...
My company uses Accurev for source control, and for all its benefits, there's one simple action that I just can't figure out how to accomplish. Often we have someone accidentally push a file up too far in our stream structure -- from the "Development" stream to the "Release" stream, for example. What is the best way to "un-promote" this...
In Accurev how to convert from stream number to stream name, Say I have stream number is 257 how to know the stream name from ? ...
Im looking for a command that gives me all the deep overlapped files in a stream. I've tried accurev stat -B *.cs Doesnt really work. Thanks in Advance ...
I have a "project" directory which has an .acignore file containing: out/* The "project" directory contains the checked-in "out" directory. But i want to ignore anything in the "out" directory tree. The above doesn't seem to work. What's the right syntax? Thanks. ...
Hi, Is there any command which can let me remove a workspace from Accurev? I tried accurev rmws WorkspaceName, and it says its removed the workspace, but when I try recreating the workspace it gives me the message that the workspace already exists. I'd appreciate any help. ...
I want to do some analysis on some old code and need to be able to pop a stream as of a specific date. I don't want to create a snapshot or workspace, I just need all the source code as of six months ago. Is there an easy way to do it? At this point in my research I'm thinking I might need to use the hist command to get the latest trans...
Hi all, I've created a new folder (with files and sub-folders) in a workspace. I then promoted them all into a parent stream (and even to the grandparent one). However I cannot see them in another workspace stemming from that parent stream. It does not appear in Exclude/Include mode either. What am I doing wrong? Thanks, Michael ...
