Description

Given this initial Project.viewspec: 
set     EMPTY                 ^/void
view    ^/dvtools/trunk       area1
After the initial s4 checkout or s4 update, the s4_state file has aliased entries. Only 'area1' is required. 
# S4 State File
$VAR1 = {
  'viewspec_hash' => '60a28c644967d5f7ecf706126f7845fb',
  'viewspec_managed_switches' => [
    'area1',
    '/export/dv12/bdobbie/s4-test/area1'
  ]
};
1;  # so that require of this file will work
If the Project.viewspec is changed to: 
set     EMPTY                 ^/void
view    ^/dvtools/trunk       area1
view    ^/dvtools/trunk       area2
s4 update gives a spurious info message: 
$ s4 update
<snip>
Updated to revision 94203.
s4: Remove unused switchpoint /export/dv12/bdobbie/s4-test/area1
The s4_state file now shows the correct entry for 'area1', but now 'area2' has an aliased entry. 
# S4 State File
$VAR1 = {
  'viewspec_hash' => '67d045e94eeeac56c4619f2fdefbf29d',
  'viewspec_managed_switches' => [
    'area1',
    'area2',
    '/export/dv12/bdobbie/s4-test/area2'
  ]
};
1;  # so that require of this file will work

This issue is minor, but it can be very confusing to a user when he or she sees a bunch of these messages unexpectedly.

History

Updated by Brad Dobbie over 1 year ago

An even more simple case that exhibits the issue is as follows.

Initial Project.viewspec: 
view  ^/void  area1
Update the working copy to get area1: 
$ s4 up
At revision 94208.
s4: Updating area1
At revision 94208.
Change Project.viewspec to: 
view  ^/void  area1
view  ^/void  area2
Update the working copy to get area2: 
> s4 up
At revision 94208.
s4: Updating area1
At revision 94208.
s4: Updating area2
At revision 94208.
s4: Remove unused switchpoint /export/dv12/bdobbie/s4-test/area1

The supurious message can be seen about /export/dv12/bdobbie/s4-test/area1.
