What was the logic in having the command for GetCS (Get Changeset) be named uu?

re: Power Toy: tfpt.exe

buckh — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 17:57:47 GMT

Matthew, getcs and uu are separate commands. Getcs gets only the files changed in a particular changeset, while uu undoes files that are unchanged with respect to the version checked in.

Difference Between Rollback and 'Get Specific Version" — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 18:54:03 GMT

Could you elaborate on the difference between this command line tool and the simple feature named "Get Specific Version" that pops up the Visual Studio Solution Explorer when I right-click on a project?

re: Power Toy: tfpt.exe

buckh — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 23:33:28 GMT

Getting a specific version is a way to get the files as of a point in time or label onto your disk. For example, you may want to get the code using the Beta 1 label.

Rollback gets a specific version and merges it with the latest version in order to remove a set of changes from the latest code. For example, if you accidentally check in a piece of code that's not ready, you can use rollback to revert the change so that other people getting the latest code won't get your change.

You've got to be kidding me. To run rollback it feels that it needs the entire Source Tree for the workspace (All projects, all branches) to be downloaded to my hard drive. For me that renders the tool useless since I have 732,000 source files that add up to 15 GB.

Any way it could be changed to only update the files that are actually part of the changeset specified?

re: Power Toy: tfpt.exe

buckh — Fri, 03 Oct 2008 05:51:42 GMT

Ben, what are your workspace mappings? It's going to run a get in your workspace, and it sounds like you have the root ($/) mapped. We use it internally, so I assure you there's no code in it to download your whole server.

You'll also be happy to know that in TFS 2010 there is server-side support for rollback.

Bryan — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 16:11:42 GMT

Regarding the Ben's question about the entire get, I used to have the root ($\) mapped and had the same issue. Then I tried just mapping a portion of my source ($/TeamProject1/Main) to a local folder. At first the tool seemed a little confused and was trying to finish where I cut it off (I think) by performing a Get on another team project, but after I deleted that other folder that it was hung up on, it seemed to be okay and not try to get code outside of my newly mapped workspace.

I want to execute the tfpt.exe tool as a process in my .NET application to automate team project creation. Can u give me an example of how to use : tfpt createproject command?
