Preserving User Labels
In previous versions of HP SRC, you could check in files with user labels
in two ways. The first way was to check in the file with the FULLMASK
option. Doing this used a substantial amount of disk space but still
preserved the user label. The second way was to check in the file using
NOMASK or NUMMASK. Doing this saved disk space but did not preserve the
user label. HP SRC now allows files with user labels to use the NOMASK
or NUMMASK options when you check them in. You therefore save disk space
due to differencing and also have the user label preserved when you check
out the file. For example, to initially check in a file with a user
label, say "USRLABL", simply use the following command:
:chkin usrlabl
When you execute an ADDDIFF or DELDIFF command with a file containing
user labels, the user label of the working file is not changed. This is
true even if one of the revisions being merged has different user labels.
For example, if the head revision of USRLABL is checked out and you use
the ADDDIFF command to merge a branch, the user labels will be the same
for USRLABL as before the ADDDIFF command was executed.
There are two other enhancements to the way HP SRC preserves user labels.
* Keywords are not expanded when they appear in a user label.
* The LISTDIFF command reports differences in the user labels but does
not report what the changes are.
