After the latest questions about the status of tla-cygwin, I decided to
go back and look at Ron Parker's tree.
I found that he had a new branch called
devo.tla--short-path
I'm assuming that this is a branch which uses c/b/v style names instead
of c/c--b/c--b--v style.
I saw that it was created 2004-07, and modified until 2004-08, and I was
wondering what the current status was. I'm in the process of building it
in the background, and I'll go ahead and test it (at least with a dummy
archive first).
But I was wondering if it was completed, or what the current state of it
was.
It does seem to be the last changes made to the address@hidden
branch, but I might be missing some archive.
I believe it is branched off the old
address@hidden/tla--devo--1.3--patch-28
Which I have no idea how this old branch falls in the grand hierarchy of
things. At one point it was where development was going, but I'm pretty
sure that things got moved all over the place after the 1.2.2 branch,
and the new style of commit branches.
I'm a little interested in picking up dev on this, since I feel it would
be nice to get something like this working.
I was able to build it, and I did see that I could init-tree
--short-path, and even import it, and the checkout looked correct on
another machine. However, when I did a 'get' later, I had lots of
problems. First, my greedy revlib did not use short-paths and died. When
I added --no-greedy-add it was able to build a pristine, but it didn't
set the +short-path flag, and all the paths were again very long (it was
able to do the checkout, but failed after that.)
I didn't see a flag for tla get --short-path, but it would seem that the
basic framework exists, and it might just be a matter of extending it to
more cases.
I don't know why development has stalled, though. So before I pick it
up, it would be nice to know where and why it was left.
