Re: VS 2008 source code control questions

Hi;

1) I don't see an Options button in the check in dialog. Where is it?

2) Tree is almost as worthless as each dir is a root node - so we've
still got hundreds of root nodes.

3) I'm starting to think the same thing - the VS 2008 system is
striking me as the old Microsoft 0.9 version approach - not complete
enough to be usable.

4) I don't see any way in the client to set this.

1) The Options menu button on the Check In dialog toolbar contains a 'Keep
all checked out' item. Beware, it's a toggle, it will stay on the next time
you check in. Why not a checkbox as in VSS? Dunno...

2) I hate it as well. Do you use the treeview in the check in dialog? Just
clear the solution checkbox (root of the tree and it clears the whole list).

3) I don't know but if keeping files checked out all the time is the way you
work, it might be worth using a SCC that supports the Edit-Merge-Commit
scheme (Vault, SVN,...) instead of VSS' Checkout-Edit-Checkin scheme.

4) You do that in the SCC client, don't you?

Hi;

I don't know if this is the right place to ask this. If not, please
tell me what NG.

1) How do I do a check in, keep checked out (like VSS has)? We
desperately need this.

2) When doing a check in it shows all files with the ones to check in
checked. As we have about 7,000 files in our project, this is useless.
Is there a way to have it show just the files bing checked in?

3) When I ask it for all files that are changed, is there a way in
that window to check in (keep checked out) those files - by selecting
the ones I want checked in?

4) How do I mark files as keep latest version only? We have a bunch of
DLLs we build in other projects and we don't want to store all
versions of them. Same for bitmaps - the bitmaps are small but there
is no need to store their history.

thanks - dave
