Description

« Hide

The AccuRev source control block uses the "accurev hist" command to detect changes to a stream. However, this will not pick up changes that are made in parent streams.

There are some workarounds (see http://groups.google.com.ag/group/ccnet-user/browse_thread/thread/8e2a5aa00f15684b/77db7c20bfeaa045?lnk=gst&q=accurev#77db7c20bfeaa045).

However, these workarounds are a bit awkward, a proper fix for this would be much better.

The only way I know to get all changes required to a workspace is using the "accurev update -i" command. However, this doesn't give all the information required for CCNet (e.g. who modified the code). Perhaps there is a way to use the update -i command, and then query the history for who modified the files?

Should have added to the description that "accurev hist" also doesn't work for cross-linked streams or for streams accessed via a pass-through. Any solution will have to encompass this as well (update -i will do this).

I implemented a better way of handling this in a custom accurev source control provider.
I do that by doing a accurev show -fx streams which gives all the stream in hte current depot.
Then i go each parent stream call it p (stoping a the root, or at a snapshot stream) and do an accurev hist with p as the stream given.
This fixes part of the problem.

I attached the file here.

In its current form, It doesn't work well with time based parent streams, we could get some extra modification when there are none.
I think It doesn't work well either with re-parenting the stream.

I no longer have access to an AccuRev system, so I can't do justice to this problem.
