Branch from a label?

[spatialminds]

Is it possible to branch from a label?

E.g. We have product that has labels version 1.0.0, version 2.0.0, version 2.0.1, and version 2.1.0. Is it possible to branch label "version 2.0.1" to a new repository labeled "version 2.0.2"?

Thanks,
Craig

You can branch from a label to a different location in the same repository, but not to a different repository. A workaround would be to Get the label, then add those files as new to the new repository. The downside would be that there would be no file history.

Another option might be to export the folder that's labeled, and import it into a new repository, then branch the label. This might take some time, however, as an export recreates the entire folder history.

To branch from a label, use the Show Labels command on the folder, select the appropriate label, right-click, and choose "Branch."

Let me know if you have additional questions.

How do you branch from a label using the command-line Vault.exe? I see in the documentation how to branch from a folder, but not from a label.

This functionality is not available from the Command Line Client.
