visual-sourcesafe

My question relates to Team Foundation Server (TFS) and specifically, is there any way to know which files have changed on the server before doing a 'Get Latest Version (Recursive)? In Visual Source Safe (VSS), you could do a 'Get' (I think) which showed you all the files which were being considered for the update and which files we're changed on the server (an consequently would be updated during the get). This functionality seems to be completely missing! Also, when I do a 'Get Latest Version' in TFS, there doesn't seem to be any notification that any things occurred, other than the blur of

Does anyone know of a good way to remove vss source control bindings for a visual studio 2005 and 2008 solution without opening it in visual studio? I used to use: del /s /f /a: *.*scc Then when I opened visual studio it would prompt me and give me the option to "permanently remove bindings". Now when I try this it recreates the .vssscc file and tells me my working copy contains a different version of the .vsscc file. There's is no option to remove source control bindings. The real problem is that I'm trying to work on an old labeled copy of the solution from source safe. But, if I open the

Around here we have been working with a bunch of Visual Source Safe repositories for about 10 years or so. Now I want to get rid of sourcesafe and move on to Team Foundation Server. Do you have any tips or tricks for me before I embark on this migration? What are the things I have to be careful about? I am sure this migration will mean that our working habits have to be modified in some way. Do you think that these changes could be a problem for the organization? Think about a group of about 20 .NET developers in a single site. deadtime I just googled, but this walkthrough seems like a good

I have been tasked with coming up with a strategy for branching, merging and releasing over the next 6 months. The complication comes from the fact the we will be running multiple projects all with different code changes and different release dates but approximately the same development start dates. At present we are using VSS for code management, but are aware that it will probably cause some issues and will be migrating to TFS before new development starts. What strategies should I be employing and what things should I be considering before setting a plan down? Sorry if this is vague, feel

We are using clearcase as our SCM. I have not much experience with clearcase. Now we are about to release our code to production. I want to label my code as I have done using VSS in my previous projects. But in clearcase labeling is not as easy as in VSS. clearcase is asking to create a label type before label a folder in VOB. I don't understand the concept of creating label type? Any guidance on this will be highly appreciated. a lbtype is a template, a declaration. a label is the instance that will be put on each versions needed to be labeled. See mklbtype The mklbtype command creates one or

Is there a way to migrate SourceSafe with HISTORY into a SVN ? Ideally I'd like to use VisualSVN Server, but I don't really want to lose my SourceSafe history. If I have to I will though. M4N A long time ago (it seems) I tried to migrate a SourceSafe DB to subversion using vss2svn , but finally gave up. There were several problems, IIRC: you have to make sure that the SS DB is consistent (e.g. Analyze does not find any problems or is able to fix them). it took a very long time to migrate the DB, because it was quite big. finally the migration failed due to some problems with parsing dates. I
