[SourceJammer-devel] Another RFE/refinement suggestion

[Marc P. <ma...@an...>]

Hi,

You can tell I'm using SJ more and for more advanced things now eh :(

I'll be honest - I think SJ's labelling is too limited.

If you have files spread over different projects that need to be 
labelled together - so you can get all files that have a label = "xxx" 
from SJ even if they cross top-level project - you have to manually 
create lots of labels, and then if you want to get all the files you 
have to do lots of separate GETs.

I think you should be able to do something like "Create label", and just 
attach existing labels to any folders or files in the tree.

Then you should be able to do "Get labelled version" on the -root- 
folder (or anything below it) and choose a label from the list of known 
labels... and it will get everything from the tree that applies to that 
label - but without iterating over ever file in the archive - i.e. the 
server should store a cache on disk of which files have which label. :)

This is more like CVS... and while CVS is horrible there is some wisdom 
there.

Cheers
