2. Using the AccuRev GUI : User-Specified Names for AccuRev Entities

User-Specified Names for AccuRev Entities
AccuRev deals with many kinds of named entities: files, directories, pathnames, depots, users, and so on. The table below details the restrictions on user-defined names for the various entities. Note that all names are case-sensitive; for example, user john is not the same as user John.
Note: In the table below, “characters” means NON-NULL characters. Do not subtract 1 to account for the terminating NUL.
