I just did a quick test. Resolving with -at (accept their's) from a subsequent revision didn't cause the file to be created. Forcing a merge on the next revision caused the new file to only contain that text for that revision.

Another -at after that, though, didn't affect the RCS file. It still contained only the one non-branch and non-accept-their's revision.

This was on 2001.2 and seemed reasonable to me.

A directory in the depot is branched creating references to the original files in the new branch.

The original files are changed and the changed files are integrated to the branch, completely replacing head revision there.

The question: Will the branch now contain actual files, or will it contain references to the files in the main branch. (That is, does the lazy copy feature apply only at branch creation?) -Wm
