how to get a list of files that were checkout out but then the pending changes were undone

Question

My team are using team foundation server.

I think I have done an 'undo pending changes' on a file that I have made changes to.

1) Is there a way to see a list of files were the pending changes were undone?

2) Is it possible to do an undo 'undo pending changes' from within TFS.

Answer 1

If you have actioned an 'undo pending changes' then there is no way to recover those files as they are overwritten by a 'get latest'. Once a pending change is undone then the status of the file being checked out to you is removed and it is as if you never touched it.

Answer 2

You might be able to look at the file dates and times on disk (within your workspace). When TFS "gets" items, the local file always has the date/time the file was got.

This won't get you your changes, but it might get you the list of files you're looking for.
