The New Workspace Command

The New Workspace command creates a workspace A location in which one or more users perform their work, using files under version control. Each workspace consists of a workspace stream in the repository and a workspace tree in the user's disk storage., with a particular stream in a particular depot as its backing stream (parent stream, basis stream) The stream that is just above a given workspace or stream in a depot's stream hierarchy. The given workspace/stream inherits versions from the backing stream.. The workspace can subsequently be reparented The operation that changes the parent stream of a particular workspace or stream. to another stream in the same depot.

Invoking the New Workspace Command

You can invoke the New Workspace command in a number of ways:

AccuRev prompts you to specify the settings for the new workspace with a multiple-screen "wizard".

Screen 1 of 3: Specifying the Depot and Backing Stream

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:

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.
