Feature Request: Shared Folders with Different Names

[shatfield]

In a Vault repository, you cannot rename a shared folder without it also renaming any folders to which it is shared.

We'd like to (optionally) be able to rename any shared folder (either end - the sharee or the sharer), or maybe just use an alias for the folders.

Is this possible now or can you add it to a future release?

Thanks,

I can log it as a feature request. I could use a little more information on why you would like to have this feature.

We use this (SourceGear suggested) folder hierarchy in our repository:

Code: Select all

Project
     Branches
     Trunk

We are setting up a build server, and want to set up a pseudo project structure with which a single (recursive) "get latest version" would work:

Code: Select all

Application
     Project1 
     Project2 
     Project3 

The Project folders listed above would be shared “Trunk” folders. The problem is that it won’t work, as each subfolder must have a unique name. We’d have to create the Project folders, and then share the trunks underneath them:

Code: Select all

Application
     Project1 
          Trunk
     Project2 
          Trunk
     Project3 
          Trunk

This is not nearly as clean (or easy) a setup as if we could just share and rename.

I hope this makes what we are trying to accomplish clearer. Please let me know if you have any questions.
