So, today I needed to get latest on a whole project recursively from a label. I figure, 'how hard can it be?'. Being a rookie at best with SourceSafe (it scares me), I ask Microsoft (via their support site). http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q162114
So what does Microsoft say?
From a command line you have 2 options:
SS GET $/<path to project>/*.* -r -gf -vl<label>
or
SS GET $/<path to project> -r -gf -vl<label>
I am more of a GUI guy unless I actually know how to use a project, so I look further in the article to see what the GUI option is.
| 7. |
Right-click the Project Vssrocks and click Show History. |
| 8. |
Select the version that the label was applied to and click Get. |
| 9. |
Select the Recursive check box and click OK |
(the pre number 7 steps are to set the sample projects up)
Much better. Yes, this is basic, but it is here more to remind me than to inform anyone else. (And thanks to my coworker Ben for finding the solution for me)
