[news.eclipse.tools] Bug with streams [reposted from 'stream poopies']

["Bill Burdick" <bill@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm using the 'stable' build (20011107) and it seems to have an error
with vcm that's a bit hard to characterize.  Here's how to see it:

1) create a project with a file in it, synchronize it with the head, and
version it.

2) copy the version to a stream (keep your project pointed at the head).

3) rename the file, synchronize the project, and version from the
workspace.

4) copy the new version to the stream

5) refresh the respository view and look at the stream.  Behold, both the
old and the new versions of the renamed file appear in the stream.

If you version from the stream instead of the workspace, the 'right
thing' happens: the stream gets the real contents of the version. This
seems sort of analogous to using 'tag' vs. 'rtag', but it really looks
like there is a problem with copying a version to a stream: revisions of
removed files still contain the stream tag.

If you manually delete the stream tag from the module before you
copy the version to the stream, you get a faithful rendition of the
version in the stream after the copy.
