Default Configuration

Each working environment specifies its own Default Configuration. When you open a SNiFF+ project in a working environment, SNiFF+ uses its Default Configuration:

Using multiple Default Configurations
Not all version controlled files in your Repository will have the same version tree. During normal development, files will often be created and checked into the Repository. Now, if the Default Configuration for your PWE is on a branch and you try to perform version control operations on a file that doesn't have this branch, your version control tool will complain.
To get around this problem, SNiFF+ allows you to specify multiple Default Configurations for a single working environment. If SNiFF+ can't perform a version control operation using the first specified Default Configuration, it will try to perform the operation using the next specified Default Configuration, and so on, until it is successful.
Going back to the example in the last section, your team member could specify two Default Configurations for his/her PWE. The first one would be
HEAD_branch , and the second could be HEAD .
