Re: Lots of "Needs Merge"

This seems to work when I do the Get Latest command from the standalone Vault Client. But if I do a Get Latest from within Visual Studio, the standalone Vault Client still shows Need Merge, even after I refresh the view. Is this expected? I would assume that Get Latest would work the same regardless...

Lots of "Needs Merge"

I'm a single developer working on a single computer. This may not be relevant, but I branched a project months ago and have been doing a lot of check-outs and check-ins on files in the branched project, and I made just a handful of changes to the files in the original project. Nearly all my work is ...

Re: How to roll back to a label/date?

It doesn't appear this feature has been implemented yet. I'm really just curious about something - please do not take this as a criticism. To me, as a user, this feature - a recursive rollback to a particular date - seems like an elementary, version 1 type of feature. A core benefit of source contro...

I just used Windows drag/drop of the old files on top of the new ones. I then opened Visual Studio and am trying to rebuild the project. It keeps prompting me to save files when I choose Build and then complains the files I'm trying to write over are read-only. Still fumbling around here. If you're ...

I'm trying your suggestion. I did a CheckOut recursive of latest version into directory X. If did a Get of the old version into directory Y. Now I'm not sure how to copy Y into X. Should I copy every single file? If so, when I check it back it won't it show every since file being changed?

Yes, sort of. I worked on product teams at Microsoft for 10 years and I understand the need for tradeoffs. At a bare minimum I think you should post step-by-step instructions for how to accomplish this in the help file and in support forums. Otherwise people like me start to think "I'm stupid b...

I will try your suggestion. I am feeling uncertain, though, about messing something up. Here's an anecdote I heard. Lexus puts a small glove in the tire changing kit. So if you are unfortunate enough to get a flat tire at least you can keep your hands clean while you replace it. That shows considera...

How to roll back to a label/date?

I know this has been asked a lot of times, and I can't seem to get any of the proposed solutions to work for me. I'm tearing my hair out on this one. Should be very simple. What am I doing wrong? I am using VS 2008 with Vault. How do I get back to a specific folder version? I've heard "just do ...

can not open a solution from vault

I am using visual studio 2008 and the latest version of vault 4.1.1 and the enhanced client. I am attempting to open a solution from scratch and it is not working. I have tried two different approaches. Is there any work around to these issues? I can send my entire source repository to someone to de...
