1. Converting Baselevel
Directories to AccuRev

Many development groups use source code provided by another group within the organization, or from another organization altogether. Typically, the code is imported on a periodic basis as a complete source tree, which we’ll call a “baselevel”. This note examines a scenario in which source-code baselevels are imported into AccuRev. Suppose each baselevel is stored as a directory tree:

D:\baselevels\gizmo1.0
D:\baselevels\gizmo2.0
D:\baselevels\gizmo3.0

It is easy to incorporate the multiple baselevels into AccuRev. Make sure you read these instructions all the way through before trying it out.

Creating a Depot

First, create an AccuRev depot, where AccuRev permanently stores all of the data for a programming project. For example:

accurev mkdepot -p gizmo

This creates a depot called gizmo. It has a single stream, also called gizmo.
