How to find the branch of a label


alfon

Recommended Posts

The easiest way to do it is to use the Branch Explorer view in the GUI. There you'll be able to see little green circles around a changeset that denotes a label. When you find the label you are looking for that changeset is in a line, and that line has black text near the beginning of the line that holds the branch name. It should be something like "/main" or "/main/task001" or something like that.

If you can't find your label in the branch explorer, then try lookin at the "Labels" view. That will give you a changeset ID. You can then go to the changesets view and find the changeset by the ID you found and that should give you the branch name.

If you can't seem to find your label or your changeset, both the Labels and Changesets views are filtered by default to only include the most recent changes (that way you're view isn't obstructed by things way in the past). Try clicking the "Advanced" button and removing everything after "find changeset" or "find label" and you should be able to see everything.

Just to confirm,

we are talking about PlasticSCM 4, right?

You know in PlasticSCM 4 the labels are associated to a certain changeset (1 to 1 relationship) and a certain changeset can only be inside a certain branch.

In PlasticSCM 3 the labels are associated to file revisions (1 to n relationship) so the label can be at the same time in several branches, depending where are the labeled revisions.
