cm command line questions

[ferdBerful]

In reading through the help for all the commands in cm, I have
the following questions:

    Whats the difference between a server_path and an item_path?

    What is an item?

    What is a tag? (in secpath_spec in acl --help)

        - Secured paths (secpath_spec):
            path:server_path[#tag]
            Examples: path:/src/foo.c
                      path:/doc/pdf
                      path:/doc/pdf#documents

    What is a shelve spec?

    What is a cs_guid?

Hi!

 

let's go!

 

Whats the difference between a server_path and an item_path?

 

 

 

I'm not sure the context but server_path is usually a path to a file that is in the repository, for example:

 

cm cat serverpath:/src/foo.c#br:/main/task003@myrepo

 

And an item_path is a local path to a file you have in your workspace, for example:

 

cm cat /home/manu/wks/code/src/foo.c

 

 

What is an item?

 

Usually a file but it may also refer to a label a branch a repository...

 

 

    What is a tag? (in secpath_spec in acl --help)

        - Secured paths (secpath_spec):
            path:server_path[#tag]
            Examples: path:/src/foo.c
                      path:/doc/pdf
                      path:/doc/pdf#documents

 

 

A label! 

 

 

What is a shelve spec?

 

Something like this:

sh:3@my_repo@localhost:8087

 

It's the specification of a Plastic SCM shelve.

 

What is a cs_guid?
 

 

The global unique identifier for a Plastic SCM changeset, will never change, even if you push it to an external server using the replication this "GUID" will never change.

 

For example: 9eb01731-86e6-4fac-b649-768483cf81cf
