NAME


aegis new branch - create a new branch

SYNOPSIS


aegis -New_BRanch [ number ][ option... ]
aegis -New_BRanch -Help

DESCRIPTION


The aegis -New_BRanch command is used to create a new branch. A branch is very similar
to a change, except that a branch may have changes (or branches) of its own, and a change
may not.

You may choose your own branch number, if you want. Zero and positives are legal, but
negatives are not. It is an error if that number has already been used for a change or
another branch. If you do not specify a change number, the lowest available positive
number (1 or more) will be used.

The new branch will be a special sort of change. It will be in the 'being developed'
state, but the usual commands in that stat (build, diff, etc) will not work. Instead,
you must create changes on the branch, and when those changes are integrated into the
branch, this is the equivalent of build, diff, etc, on the branch. Once the branch is
completed, the aede(1) command may be used to advance it to the being reviewed state, and
from then on it becomes a normal change. Should it be returned to the being developed
state for any reason, it will once again require sub-changes to alter anything.

OPTIONS


The following options are understood:

-Help
This option may be used to obtain more information about how to use the aegis
program.

-Output filename
This option may be used to specify a filename which is to be written with the
automatically determined branch number. Useful for writing scripts.

-REAson text
This option may be used to attach a comment to the change history generated by
this command. You will need to use quotes to insulate the spaces from the shell.

-Wait This option may be used to require Aegis commands to wait for access locks, if
they cannot be obtained immediately. Defaults to the user's lock_wait_preference
if not specified, see aeuconf(5) for more information.

-No_Wait
This option may be used to require Aegis commands to emit a fatal error if access
locks cannot be obtained immediately. Defaults to the user's
lock_wait_preference if not specified, see aeuconf(5) for more information.

See also aegis(1) for options common to all aegis commands.

All options may be abbreviated; the abbreviation is documented as the upper case letters,
all lower case letters and underscores (_) are optional. You must use consecutive
sequences of optional letters.

All options are case insensitive, you may type them in upper case or lower case or a
combination of both, case is not important.

For example: the arguments "-project, "-PROJ" and "-p" are all interpreted to mean the
-Project option. The argument "-prj" will not be understood, because consecutive
optional characters were not supplied.

Options and other command line arguments may be mixed arbitrarily on the command line,
after the function selectors.

The GNU long option names are understood. Since all option names for aegis are long,
this means ignoring the extra leading '-'. The "--option=value" convention is also
understood.

EXIT STATUS


The aegis command will exit with a status of 1 on any error. The aegis command will only
exit with a status of 0 if there are no errors.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
