changing baselines in stream


David Sedlock (16122012) | asked Aug 10 '09, 6:22 a.m.
When I move forward to a baseline in a stream, the pending changes of a workspace attached to the stream shows this as an incoming change. This makes sense to me.

When I revert to a previous baseline in a stream, the pending changes of a workspace attached to the stream shows this as an empty incoming change ("Replaced") and the previous baseline as outgoing. I find this curious.

Accepting the change makes the incoming and outgoing go away, as does delivering the change. I find this equivalence curious.

Can someone explain? And point me to the doc about this, which I couldn't locate.

The (Replaced) decorator is an indication that someone rolled back the
stream in such a way that discarded changes. Accepting for this
component (after a prompt) will bring the same changes into your
workspace. Delivering against this will effectively undo the rollback
of the stream.

This is not described in the help, I will raise a task on documentation.
