Defining Branches
|
Top Previous Next |
| 1. | Open the Document Explorer (refer to Using the Document Explorer Tool in CS-RCS Tools).
|
| 2. | From the Project drop-down list, select a project. Branches are not supported for the All Documents selection.
|
| 3. | From the Milestones menu, click Library to open the Milestone Library (refer to Using the Milestone Library in Working with Project Milestones).
|
| 4. | From the dialog box, click Add or Edit.
|
| The Edit Milestone dialog box appears (refer to Creating a New Milestone in Working with Project Milestones).
|
| 5. | Define the Milestone type as Branch.
|
| 6. | You can define a branch either by a specific date, by the symbolic name given to the revision (refer to Marking a Symbolic Name in Working with Project Milestones) or by importing a legacy branch created by GNU RCS. Therefore, specify the Milestone criteria as one of the following:
|
| · | By date – Enter the time and date for this milestone. Open the date drop-down menu to display a calendar from which you can choose a date and year. In the Branch field, select a specific branch, to create a nested branch (i.e., a branch of a branch).
|
| · | RCS symbolic name – Enter an RCS symbolic name that defines the branch (used mostly with legacy RCS files). You can specify a symbolic name that defines an existing RCS branch (e.g., 1.5.1). CS-RCS will recognize the legacy branch and import it without having to recreate it. If you specify a symbolic name that defines a revision number (e.g., 1.5), a new branch on this revision is created.
|
| 7. | Click OK to save the new settings.
|
| 8. | Click Close to close the Milestone Library.
