Description Jean-Michel Lemieux CLA 2001-10-10 21:35:48 EDT
If you have an empty workspace and add a project version to it, the project
	version contents are added, but the sharing is not saved (we don't even know
	from which repository it came from). This causes the following usability problems:
	
	1. The user cannot determine his project lineup. For example, in VAJ the user
	could see the version name in brackets beside the project, even if it was a
	version or an open edition: ProjectFoo (v102). Also in CVS, if you update from a
	version, the local cvs workspace tracks that you have a version loaded and
	not a team stream.

	2. To update your workspace with another version or with a team stream contents,
	you have to guess from which repo the original contents came from.

	There may be other issues as well...

	We must soon agree on this PRs priority.

	If we just connected it to HEAD of the repo it came from we would do what most people would expect.
	Optionally we could prompt, but that's a bonus.

JohnA (5/16/2001 7:40:03 PM)
	Connecting to HEAD makes sense, but it feels icky to be automagically setting sharing when the
	user may not want it.  Could prompt...

KM (21/05/01 10:30:20 PM)
	If someone wants in a different stream they are likely advanced and will know to change it.
	Could make a preference with default=connect to HEAD, but this is PRI 2.

We now correctly set the repo location information on project load, and display 
the tag in the decorator.
