Branch a project from VS 03

[John A. Bailo]

Is there a way to branch a source safe'd project from within VS03 ?

You can do it from Visual Source Safe if you have standard VS2003 (without
plugins that work with ss)

ok, so I did a branch and share on an ASP.NET project.

It created a subproject ( I gave it an extra letter to distinuish it)
within the main project folder.

What I want to do is to rollback the main project and let the new branch
continue forward.

When I look at the file dates on both branches it looks like they are
all out of date by 2 years!

Luckily my actual code is still running on disk.

I hope this didn't screw up my project...I will be seriously torqued!

Ok never mind, somehow the project which I had relocated to a new VSS
server, when I last updated, saved the updates to the old server -- so I
effectively "branched it" by luck.

I guess my next move is to get that branched file back to the new VSS
server.

One think I notice is that VSS doesn't like two solution files with the
same name -- it's been recreating the web sites everytime I switch
between the two branches.
