Breaking shares

When a shared file is broken, or unshared, the two files function as unique copies and store any future changes independent of one another. Breaking shares can also be propagated between branches. If you break a share in the mainline branch and rebase the file that was broken, it is possible to have that break share operation replicated to the child branch.

1. Select the file or repository to unshare and choose Activities > Break Shares.

The Break Shares dialog box opens.

2. Select Break shares recursively to recursively break all shared files in a repository.

3. Enter any Comments, such as the reason for breaking the shares.

4. Click OK.

The files are no longer shared.
