View to restrict changes to a single directory

This config spec is appropriate for a developer who can make changes in one directory only, /vobs/monet/src:
(1)
element * CHECKEDOUT
(2)
element src/* /main/LATEST
(3)
element * /main/LATEST –nocheckout

The most recent version of each element is selected (Rules 2 and 3), but Rule 3 prevents checkouts to all elements except those in the directory specified.

Note that Rule 2 matches elements in any directory named src, in any VOB. The pattern /vobs/monet/src/* restricts matching to only one VOB.

You can easily extend this config spec with additional rules that allow additional areas of the source tree to be modified.
