Hello,
Having a large number of repositories we intend to create many 'levels' by using the '/' character in repository names to take advantage of the tree view in Repositories screen, such as:
AAA
-- AAA/BBB
---- AAA/BBB/CCC
---- AAA/BBB/CCC/DDD
-- AAA/XXX
...
I haven't been able to find a specification of this feature in the documentation -sorry if I missed. Before setting up our repos like this, I would like to find out if there are any points to watch out for in such design. For example:
- Is there a limit to the number of levels (i.e. depth)?
- Are there any 'gotcha's with renaming a repo in this structure?
For example, renaming a repo that has sub-repos? as in AAA/BBB/CCC --> AAA/BBB/CCCX
Or moving a sub-repo one level up? AAA/BBB/CCC/R1 --> AAA/BBB/R1
The reason for this question is that I found out the "Root repositories cannot be converted into modules" restriction by experiment (discussed here).
Briefly, could you please let me know if there would be any other restrictions on freely re-structuring this hierarchy if the need arises later?
I hope that makes sense.
Thank you for any feedback.
Kind regards,
Engin.
