Is there an application or API for using/accessing Visual SourceSafe (6.0) under Mac OS X? I'm currently using VSS Connect under Parallels for working with our company's ASP.NET site/s. I currently have my Windows drive shared and try to use TextMate on the Mac side to actually edit files. It would be nice to have the ability to check fi...
There must be a way to find out who checked out the file directly in Visual Studio without having to open the VSS client and navigate to the file. Right? ...
We have a new build machine to start using for our programming team. We are still trying to figure out how we want to organize everything to get the best configuration for building EXEs and DLLs. We are using VB6 and VB.Net 2005, and VSS2005. We were thinking of making working folders set for each project, release and support tickets. ...
When I save a solution that I have actually not made any changes to, I often get a dialog that tells me "Checking out without saving will cause you to lose your in-memory changes". It gives me a few options, Discard In-Memory changes, Check-Out, Cancel, and Save-As. Is there way to prevent this from happening? ...
I would like to label a project and its files in VSS according to a certain previous date. In other words, I would like to be able to select versions of each file in a project as they existed on a particular date and then apply the label to those versions of the files. I have tried pinning files and then labelling the project (and its fi...
I want to add Delphi-4 code to VSS via the IDE. Is that possible? How to do so? I am working on enhancements for a code written in Delphi 4. The name of the folder is "testCheck". I tried saving the code directly into VSS by clicking workgroups\Add "testCheck" to version control then i checked the VSS to see the latest vers...
Given I'm: a solo developer using VS2008 Professional looking for Microsoft-produced source control (I'm aware there are alternatives) looking to get away from Visual SourceSafe 2005 Is it correct that my only option is to drop ~$8k on Visual Studio Team System 2008 Development Edition ($5,469) + Team Foundation Server ($2,799) - in ...
I'm hoping that i'm simply missing something, but I really can't see how to get the report I want out of SourceSafe. All I need is a report of the check-ins and corresponding comments for a particular date range. So, for example, I can see who has checked in what in the past month and what they said about the check-in. I wouldn't imagi...
Hi, After a branch was created of a project I was working on, I don't seem to be able to checkout resource files anymore. I checked the sourcesafe with the administration tool, and I have sufficient rights on the project. I can checkout the files straight from sourcesafe, but I can't checkout the files from visual studio. anyone know...
Hi, I'm looking for independent industry reports that compare and contrast the various source control tools out there. In particular, I care about Clearcase vs Sourcesafe vs SVN, but if the report includes other SCM systems that's fine. I need this for a client who wants to get a feel on exactly what they stand to gain switching to SVN...
I just setup AnkhSVN after having used TFS till now What in AnkhSVN is the equivalent of shelves that I would create/use in TFS? ...
Hi, I have added reference to few dlls in my VB.net Project. When I check into Visual source safe and get latest version from another machine, VS.net 2008 throws errors. I have to add the references again in that new machine. Is there anyway where I can keep the references in spite of files checked in to VSS? I need to send copy all t...
Is there a useful command-line diff utility for VSS 2005? I tried this but if wants to compare my current directory with, it seems, some randomly picked path from the project. ...
I know all versions of VSS have many horror stories and I feel I will escape to a better source control mechanism someday but in the short term I am just trying to do a little cleanup and would like your advice on this issue: Objective - consolidate old VB6 source code in a "new" VSS 2005 database (currently all these old projects are c...
Is there a timetested VSS plugin in Eclipse? I had used a plugin which would have robbed off my previous project.Any suggestions would help. ...
A while ago, I "tidied up" our Visual SourceSafe repository, including deleting a duplicate of one project. It now turns out that the duplicate had some code I need to see. How can I get back a deleted project? I can't see from any of the docs how to do this. Thanks for any help. ...
We're just moving from VSS to ClearCase and it's nearly impossible to find out how to do anything :-( I need to script (using ClearTool?) a sort of VSS-GetLatest, i.e copy a folder and all its contents to a windows folder Any clues (in short words please as I'm new to this!) ...
Why when I add a new solution to Source safe from visual studio does it add a redundant parent folder with the same name as my solution. For example, if my solution is called Project X, when it is added to source safe it is now found in Project X > ProjectX ...
We're interested in moving from a source control system that supports the concept of shared or linked files. A shared file means: a file modified in one project, is automatically updated changed in every other project that uses that same file. It does this without a developer having to request it, reverse-integrate it, ask for it, or e...
I know that in Visual SourceSafe you can go in and drill down to the history of an individual file and then drill down to an individual check-in and apply a comment to the check-in that way but that's tedious and time consuming - if you have a lot of files that were checked in at the same time and you want the same comment to apply to al...
