Thank you Paul, for the precise description. Dirk, I'm curious if you considered inverting the structure, like labels/ Project1/ 1.0/ 2.0/ Project2/ 1.0/ 2.0/ 2.1/ and determined this layout to have problems. I thought about this, yes. I d

What will happen, if we assign the same label to a file outside the hierarchie, for example to $/A/Readme? Is it possible promote this file to that label? I don't think that labels are something special in VSS. They just sit there waiting for the tools to do something with the infor
