I am using CCS v5.5. As we all know, often there is a need to branch (fork?) software in a Source Control (Revision Control) system for maintenance, variants, and starting point for derivative work. This creates an alternate project of the same name. We do this a fair amount. In some cases, this branched effort gets merged back to the root view; Sometimes it does not.
However, when I try to import this duplicate, but different directory, project into CCS, it will list it but it will NOT let me CHECK it (check box) for import. I suppose I can remedy this by creating a new workspace. Currently I have one workspace: C:\ti\wkspace. I really don't like the idea of having a bunch of workspaces and trying to remember which branch view belongs to which workspace. If that is the case, I would rather have the older CCS 3.3 model where you just go to the project file and open it, taking workspaces out of the picture altogether.
As branching projects is a common occurrence, is there a way for CCS to handle duplicate project names that are in separate folder sets? It could present an alias to the user by appending a number or path segment, etc.

Hi Jim,
This is a known issue that has been reported in the past (tracking ID: SDSCM00048175). Basically this is a limitation of Eclipse that we inherited and not something we can change easily on our own. In future, we will notify the user of the exact limitation (instead of having them wonder why they can't import the project) but otherwise there will be no "fix" for the issue. Sorry
