foo.c : A name of the Configuration Item (a Configuration Item namespace)

foo.c@@/main : main branch of foo.c (main sub-namespace of foo.c)

foo.c@@/main/1, foo.c@@/main/2 : versions on the main branch of foo.c (foo.c main branch versions subset)


foo.c@@/br1 : br1 branch of foo.c (br1 sub-namespace of foo.c)

foo.c@@/br1/1, foo.c@@/br1/2, foo.c@@/br1/3 : versions on the br1 branch of foo.c (foo.c br1 branch versions subset)


foo.c@@/main/br2 : br2 branch of foo.c (br2 sub-namespace of foo.c)

foo.c@@/main/br2/1 : versions on the br2 branch (foo.c br2 branch versions subset)


foo.c@@/main/1, foo.c@@/main/2, foo.c@@/br1/1, foo.c@@/br1/2, foo.c@@/br1/3, foo.c@@/main/br2/1 : the full CI foo.c family (foo.c version tree)


main, br1, br2 : branch types (in the myvob vob)
