Understanding the version ID in history
I have a question from a customer.
They are looking at the history of a source file in a stream , and have extended the scope with "show all in repository".
Here's the result:
Q1: why aren't the number in sequence (why are we missing 2, 4, 6, 7, 9, 14, 15, 17) ? We are seeing all in repository here.
Q2: Why is version 8 showing up twice ?
Thanks !
Accepted answer
Q1. Missing numbers are likely intermediate states.
As you work, you may check a file into the same active change set multiple times, each check-in will be a new id. You can select the drop down menu in the top right of the view and choose "Show Check-in History" to get a new section in the bottom of the view which will show the intermediate states for the selected change.
Q2: Version 8 is showing up twice because the change set on Nov 4 did a "Resolve with Mine" for a conflict. This is also shown by the dotted line on the merge graph.
