Question

Let’s consider this scenarion: In case that I sinchronize my local folder with latest version at Team Foundation Server 2010 and after that manually delete some local file. My question is how I can force TFS to show me Missing files? (Source Safe would show Missing files in this case) For now, TFS check only file versions (not data) and if there is no change it doesn’t make any other actions. In this case there is no version change and it doesn’t recognize need for action.

Answer 1

You can perform a get specific version and check the option to download all files even if they match (second option).
