Rolf,
I am doing something very similar to what you are trying to do. However it
looks like you are running on Unix and I am running on Windows.
This is what my setting are:
Workspace: SCM_branch-${branch}
Let Jenkins manage workspace is checked.
Let Jenkins manage workspace view is checked.
Client View type is: View Map
In the View Map box I have
//depot/myApp/win32/${branch}/Source/...
//SCM_branch-${branch}/Source/...
With these setting I see the workspace is expanged in the logs and I get
the correct branch.
Hope this helps.
Mark
