Notation used when referring to file versions
SNiFF+ uses the following notation when referring to different versions of a file:
- version tree -- A graphical presentation of a file's "evolution" from one version to
another.
- INIT -- The symbolic name given to the initial checked-in version of a version controlled
file. The version number of the initial version is
1.1
.
HEAD -- The symbolic name given to the latest checked-in version of a version controlled
file. On a branch, the latest version is given the symbolic name
HEAD_<branch_name>
, where
<branch_name>
is the symbolic name of the
branch.
Here's an example of a file's version tree containing both
INIT
and
HEAD
versions.
