I now have a lot of "n.1.1" files checked in. I was not warned of any of these files being placed on a parallel path. I know parallel is not "evil", but in this case it is because I now have about 100 parallel versions that have to be manually dealt with. Had I known at check-out, I could have handled them more efficiently.
In fact, some parallels don't in fact show the original path. i.e. I see only a straight line 1, 2, 2.1.1, no other versions. I'm thinking someone had 3 checked out and subsequently deleted version 3?
I did some experimentation and it seems if I check out one of these files that is checked out by someone else, I'll get a warning. If I use "keep work area change" in the Sync area tool, I get no warning.
So, it seems the Sync tool has a bug in that it does not warn of creating parallels the same as manually checking out a file. I looked for options on the sync tool, and there was nothing controlling this behavior.
Any suggestions how I should train my developers to avoid not-knowing they are making parallel versions? Am I missing something?
I'm using CM 6.4

I have a similar problem to this in that my developers are constantly getting parallel version on the directories, which leads to the build manager not getting some people's changes. How can the parallel versions of directories and files be avoided after a sync?
