Paths Tab

Shows all branches of the selected file. When you modify and check in a file, all shared files will be updated immediately. However, modification to this file won't be reflected in the branched files. This box will help you easily find the branched files and modify them.

For example,

Projects with independent branches:
$/A         1->5
 --$/B         5->6
 --$/C         3->3

This means that there are 3 branches of this file. The first branch has moved from version 1 to version 5. The second branch has the first as its parent (meaning that versions 1 through 5 of the file are the same as the first branch), began its life at version 5 and was done an operation such as checked in once since then, moving it to version 6 currently. The third branch also has the first as its parent, but began its life at version 3 and has not changed since then.
