Enterprise Architect enables you to apply version control to all packages within a selected model branch, in a single operation.  In this context, a model branch is a package that is currently selected in the Project Browser, and all of the packages contained within it.

Enterprise Architect creates a number of sub-folders within the version control working copy folder, then exports all of the packages within the selected model branch.  Enterprise Architect generates filenames for the XMI files, based on the package GUIDs.

  • When invoked on the model root node, this command applies version control to every package within the model
