Hi Brad, Thank you for this discussion. In my opinion we have come close enough to understanding our common terminology and definition about codelines. I...
Brad, I think we are very close in our definitions with one minor discrepancy. I prefer to view a code-line as the set of files that have changed, plus the...
... Yes - I agree *exactly*. As I discovered in my exchange with Frank, my definition of codeline is initial baseline + changes, where the changes are part of...
Hi, I'm interested in hearing what patterns exist for coping with platform-independent and platform-dependent baselines. My current company is doing releases...
... Actually - in my experience, that is the preferred way to do it. Creating branches in the version-tree for platforms is, IMHO, less desirable and less...

Brooke, It works just as well in perforce. This is a directory-structure trick, not a CM tool trick. The make utility uses $VPATH/$vpath, the compiler uses...
