Creating a Snapshot

At the time of the release (say, “WidgetSoft Release 1.0”), create a snapshot:

accurev mksnap -s widget1.0 -b widget -t now

This creates a new snapshot called widget1.0. The snapshot contains whatever versions the widget stream contained at the time the mksnap command is executed. Subsequently, the widget stream can change as new versions are promoted to it, but the widget1.0 snapshot never changes. Instead of now, you can specify any time in the past, such as 2005/05/18 10:10:24.
