File Browser: Browsable Data Structures
You can open a File Browser tab on these AccuRev data structures, each of which provides access to a configuration A set of element versions -- one version of each element. Typically, the set of versions currently in a particular workspace or stream. of your organization's version-controlled The discipline of keeping track of the changes made over time to a file or directory. files and directories:
workspace A location in which one or more users perform their work, using files under version control. Each workspace consists of a workspace stream in the repository and a workspace tree in the user's disk storage.
stream The AccuRev data structure that implements a configuration of the elements in a particular depot. The configuration of a dynamic stream changes over time; the configuration of a snapshot (static stream) never changes. Each workspace has its own private workspace stream. See workspace, stream hierarchy.
snapshot An immutable (frozen, static) stream that captures the configuration of another stream at a particular time. A snapshot cannot be renamed or modified in any way.
AccuRev also supports a data structure similar to a workspace, called a reference tree A directory tree in users' disk storage that instantiates a particular dynamic stream or snapshot. It contains a copy of the current version of each element in the stream or snapshot. A reference tree based on a dynamic stream can be updated, to incorporate the stream's recent changes.. You cannot open a File Browser tab on a reference tree. (But the Admin > Reference Trees command displays the references trees created for a particular depot.)
