Thats pretty close for what I posted so far.
However I want to eventually expand even further than I've posted so
far.
The file are the `projects' directory from a series of hosts.
That looks more like:
assume x[0-9] stands for host names
The Solaris server has the hierarchy named after each hosts project
files.
/projects/
x0/y/z/ many more with branches
x1/y/z/ ditto
x2/y/z/ ditto
[...]
Assume x/y/z also have many branches
You get the picture. However I've only worked on (part of) one host's
project files so far and my immediate expansion would be from z up to
x0 on one hosts files.
Eventually I hope to move up one more level to top `/projects' which
will inclue all 5 hosts currently rsynced into place.
