SUMMARY
In Visual SourceSafe, you can branch a specific version of a project. This article shows by example how to do it.
MORE INFORMATION
Branching a specific version of a project in Visual SourceSafe is slightly different from the way it was accomplished in previous versions of SourceSafe.
Step-by-Step Example
- In the Visual SourceSafe Explorer, select the project you want to branch from by right-clicking on it and then click Show History.
- In the Project History dialog box, select the recursive option if all subprojects and their files are wanted. Click OK.
- Select the version, and click the Share button.
- Select the project in which you want to create the new branch, then select the Branch After Share check box in the lower-left corner of the Share From dialog. Click OK.
- In the Share dialog box, type the name you want to give to the new branch and check the recursive checkbox if you want to branch subprojects. Click OK.
