How do I merge a project that was branched into another stream?
I have a single Java project in Eclipse that we copied into another stream and component. I now want to merge selected changes from the project in the 2nd stream back into the original project.
This may be 2nd question, but when I use Show History on the project from the 2nd stream, I see change set messages from changes that were only supposed to have been in the 1st stream. The highlighted changeset below was performed in a project that was connected to a repository workspace associated with the Research stream. How did it show up in the SWG stream? I can't include the image I'm referring to because "File uploading requires reputation > 60" I hope that's a bug. |

RTC will not do anything in particular to help you merge a file that you have copied into another component. To get automated merge support, you need to make the changes in the other stream to the *same* component, and then RTC will help you merge the changes. In particular, when branching, you should never *copy* anything ... you create the new stream from an existing stream, or from a snapshot creating on the existing stream.
When you say "Show History on the project", do you mean "Show History on the component" or "Show History on a file"? In either case, the way a change set shows up in a stream is through a "Deliver" operation (from the workspace containing the change set, to the stream). If you are using RTC-5.0.2, you can see in the history of the stream who delivered that change set to that stream. |
