Question

My team is working with VSS and we are having difficulties managing versions:

We want to take a ‘snapshot’ of the project we’re working on, so we can keep working on it, but when we need to – we can get the files of the snapshot and built them for a release. (Is that called branching?)

Alternatively, getting all project files by date would be great too. (Meaning I would get the last checked-in version of each file in the project prior to the specified date.)

Is there any tutorial regarding this? I searched the net a bit and only found very simple howto’s.

Thanks.

Answer 1

You can apply a label to a current snapshot of source safe (like BUILD1) and then get the tree based on that label at a later date.
