 Description   
Hi -

I'm extremely pleased that Quickbuild offers AccuRev integration. My only concern is the creation of reference trees that happens with each build configuration. There is a way to get source code in AccuRev without creating a reference tree as long as the username that you map to has security permissions set to access the stream you are checking out from. Would it be possible to offer this as an option in Quickbuild so that the AccuRev depot is not littered with reference trees?

The way that you can access the source without creating a reference tree is to issue this command:

accurev pop -O -R -v "<stream name>" -L <path to directory> .

Best regards,
Chris Hopkins
