I want to do some analysis on some old code and need to be able to pop a stream as of a specific date. I don’t want to create a snapshot or workspace, I just need all the source code as of six months ago. Is there an easy way to do it?

At this point in my research I’m thinking I might need to use the hist command to get the latest transaction as of a given date, create a reftree, then do an update to that transaction number. However, when I do that I get a “Given update transaction out of range” error on the update command.

    create a child stream with a time rule. Then pop from that. You can do it from the GUI. Here’s the CLI.

    $ mkdir code && cd code
$ accurev mkstream -s <Child> -b <Parent> -t "<Time>"   # format: YYYY/MM/DD HH:MM:SS
$ accurev pop -R -v <Child> -L . .

    If you name it generically, you can reparent/reuse elsewhere to do your time-based pops. So for the most poart, you only need one stream (e.g. you don’t need a time stream for every hist based pop).

    $ accurev chstream -s <Child> -b <NewParent> -t "<NewTime>"
