Associate specific paths in Atlassian Fisheye with Perforce branch mappings

260 views Asked by At

Say I have branches //depot/app/main and //depot/app/dev.

"Dev" was created with a Perforce branch mapping
        map_main_to_dev
which has the "view" of
        //depot/app/main/... //depot/app/dev/...

This branch mapping shows up as a "branch" in Fisheye. However, browsing files associated with this branch only shows/highlights files under the //depot/app/main path. Files under //depot/app/dev are associated with the "head" branch.

I would like //depot/app/dev not associated with "head" and instead associated with the branch map map_main_to_dev that was used to create it.

The issue is that currently when doing a Crucible review of changes/work done in dev and merged to main, because of the branch separations, Crucible shows one folder tree under dev and a wholly separate tree for main.

Currently Crucible will show for the "red bar of revisions" in the diff pane:
        dev tree: [some start change#]---[change# for dev work]
      main tree: [some start change#]---[change# for merge to main]
In some cases for main tree it'll show even less helpful revisioning:
      main tree: [change# for dev work]---[change# for merge to main]
And since the resulting merge to main is exactly the same as what's in dev, in the case of above it shows "No Change" in the diff pane showing no evidence of work on the main tree/branch.

What I want is to only show the folder tree of main, and then the changesets under review are listed like
        [some start change#]---[change# for dev work]---[change# for merge to main]

I suspect for this to work both dev and main need to be considered as part of the same "branch" of map_main_to_dev. So how do I get that to happen?
