SourceSafe Labeling Tips
When creating
labels in Visual SourceSafe, avoid label names that begin with numerals or the
letter ‘L’. Here’s why:
-
Avoid Numerical Labels
When used
in combination with -vL, labels that start with a number are not processed correctly.
For example,
ss
history $/Test -vL4.0.1~2.0.3
should
return history for versions of $/Test between labeled version “2.0.3” and
“4.0.1.” In actuality, this
command returns history for all versions of the $/Test project, including
labeled version "1.0.0", which lies outside the specified
range.
-
Avoid 'L' Labels
When used in
combination with the -L parameter, labels that start with the letter 'L' are not
processed. For example,
ss history $/Test -vLabel5
returns nothing. It
returns nothing because ss.exe parses –vLabel5 as ‘return history for the -version which is Labeled abel5. Since there are no versions labeled
abel5, nothing is returned.
VSS
Best Practice: You can avoid label-naming issues by
prepending “ver” or some other standard prefix to all of your
labels.
