Unlike other views in which
AccuRev selects the type of diff operation to perform when submitting elements to code review, when you submit an element to code
review from the
File Browser you can choose whether you want to diff against backed, basis, or just your changes as described here:
- Backed Version
- Compares your file with the version currently in the backing stream. For example, you might use this choice to see all the
changes you have made to this file since you updated your workspace and starting working on the file. (And assuming no one
else has promoted a new version to the backing stream in the meantime.) This might include the changes stored in several intermediate
versions that you have created with
keep.
- Basis Version
- Compares your file with the version that you started working with, before making your recent changes.
- My Changes
- Compares the workspace version with the common ancestor in the backing stream. This option is useful for files that have an
(overlap) status because it identifies the changes in the workspace that did not come from the backing stream. The
My Changes option is the equivalent of diffing against the last version that you merged with.
