.Net Jonesie - VSTS Source Control Disaster
A simple programmers blog
 
# Monday, August 01, 2005

Last week I had a small disaster with the source control in Team System.  I managed to overwrite 3 files and lost about 2 weeks work.  The files has not been checked in correctly since mid June.  This was not a nice thing to happen :{

For some reason known only to - pick your God here - I mucked around with the file attributes on these files and then did a "Get Latest", which of course, overwrote the local versions with the old server versions.  Yes, that was a stupid thing to do!  However, I still haven't a clue why the files where not getting checked in correctly.  It may have something to do with the readonly file attributes being out of sync or something else.

So, a word of warning, don't get too comfortable with the Source Control yet - IT'S A BETA !!!  Go and check now that all your files are being checked in correctly and before doing a Get Latest, backup your local versions.

Roll on beta 3...

Damn - that's nasty. I hope that's not the project you are supposed to be delivering soon.
