are you sure it is the same element? I am not sure if you are saying that in
one version of the directory with test.vbp, you see one version tree for
test.vbp and in another version of the same directory, you see a different
version tree for test.vbp... or if you are changing the config spec to pull
up a different version of test.vbp from the same version of the directory.
but the only time the version trees are different for files of the same name
is when they are different elements that happen to have the same name.

even if the file names are the same in different versions of the same
directory, it does not mean that it is the same element. you will need to be
sure that the directory version is the same when you change the version of
the file element to check the version tree. if they are different elements,
then each will have its own development tree that is independent of each
other... what you do is dependent on whether you need all branches of the
directory to see/use the same element or not.

Subject: [cciug] A file element has lost its link with other branches.

HI CCIUG Friends,

                           I have a file element say test.vbp. And it exists
in four branches. when I look at the version tree of that file element from
the main branch I can see that it exists in all the four branches and I can
see version 0 of that file in the bufix branch(one of the 4 branches) .
But when when I look at the version tree from the bugfix branch view of the
same file element I can see that it has more than 10 versions in bugfix
branch, and it doesnt have any versions in any of the other 3 branches.
when I look at the history for test.vbp from bugfix branch I can see that a
new version has been created. But the file name (test.vbp) is same in all
the branches.

                          So i think it has lost the link with other
branches. can anybody helpme, to link it back!!!

Thanks in advance

Sudharsan
