accurev

cannot create accurev workspace after removing and changing one of the same name


I am aware that removing a workspace does not make its name available again.

I had a workspace called MyWSpace. I removed that workspace using accurev rmws MyWSpace and it said it was remove successfully. I then tried to rename it using accurev chws -w MyWSpace _MyWSpace, which it also said was successful.

However, now I have problems. I made a new workspace using accurev mkws -b MyStream -w MyWSpace2 -l /home/user/MyWSpace. I now want to rename it using accurev chws -w MyWSpace2 MyWSpace and I get There is already a stream named. So I executed accurev remove stream MyWSpace_username, which it said was successful, but when I try to rename my new workspace again, I get the same error.

I'm at a loss for how to do this.


Solution

  • Once you create a workspace/stream, that name is taken forever, even if you rename/delete the workspace/stream.

    So at some point in time, the name MyWSpace was used.
