The stat and
add commands above accept filename/pathname specifications, in several forms:
Such specifications restrict the command to processing a certain set of files, not the whole workspace (even if you also specify
–x,
–m,
–n, or
–p). Similarly, the
files command processes a certain set of files, not the whole workspace.
For these commands, the accurev tool still uses
ACCUREV_IGNORE_ELEMS — but in a way that is less efficient than for whole-workspace commands:
This may produce similar, or even identical results as a whole-workspace command, but the fact that an unfiltered list is sent to, and processed by, the Server means that overall performance won’t be as good.
