Multiple copies for working on the same code
Hi!
I'm trying to adjust some habits as part of migrating from Subversion to RTC and I need some advise or suggestions how.
What I'm doing in SVN is that I have multiple SVN working copies for the same code. Often I have three or more such SVN working copies, one for general development (this one often contains several half-finished changes), one temporary one (I switch to this working copy when I want to test a change in isolation from other half-finished changes) and a clean one without changes (after checking in, I switch to this one to verify that I didn't break anything or forgot to check something in). Note that these three SVN working copies all reference the same SVN repository URL, they are
<u:25743aa223>
not
</u:25743aa223>
branches!
For RTC, I would of course need a repository workspace for the code. However, do I really need three repository workspaces for above approach? I would have loaded the same repository workspace thrice or loaded the same component three times into the same repository workspace. BTW: If I can't load a repository workspace more than once, can a different user load it while I have it loaded?
I'm aware that this is a slightly vague question, but I still hope to find a few good suggestions!
Cheers!

Accepted answer
Once you start using RTC, I think you'll find that having 3 repository workspaces where you accept and deliver (i.e. flow) changes between them and your stream will work quite seamlessly. I tend to work with multiple workspaces in my pending changes view and flow changes between them regularly with no problem.
