Subj: Re: How to change file names in the backing tree?
Dhiren, typically you would "bcreate" in the new namespace, then bci
and bsubmit; and "bco", "bci -defunct", and "bsubmit" in the old
namespace. This would leave all the history only in the old space.
What we can do is to copy the RCS files in question from the old to the
new, and then you would "bco" instead of "bcreate" in the new
namespace, but still do everything else as described above. The old
names would still be there (required since they exist in old products &
baselevels), and the new names would appear to have all the history.
I'd recommend putting a reference to the name change in both the old
bsubmit and the new bsubmit comments for tracking purposes. Note that
for the -defunct you need comments with the checkin <bci -m"..." files>
as well as with the submit <bsubmit -m "..." files>. Defunct submits
don't retain the bci'd comment by default like normal submits.
If you supply a list of old/new files/directories and a timeframe we can
coordinate this.
There is some ODE work "on the table" to address moving files, but for
now this is the best solution we have.

Hi,
I need to change the names of message catalogs for "nfsconfig" to bring it in
conformance with the other apps. How do I go about doing it?
Is there a way to preserve the RCS history or do I just defunct the original
and bcreate new ones?
Thanks,
Dhiren Patel
