PRB: Deleted Project Files Are Not Converted with DELTA_SS.EXE (135644)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Visual SourceSafe for Windows 4.0
- Microsoft Visual SourceSafe for Windows 5.0
- Microsoft SourceSafe for Windows 3.1
- Microsoft SourceSafe for Windows NT 3.1
- Microsoft SourceSafe for MS-DOS 3.1
This article was previously published under Q135644 SYMPTOMS
If a file has been deleted in Delta, the Delta_SS conversion never adds
the file or any of its history to the SourceSafe project.
CAUSE
This occurs because if a file has been deleted from Delta, another file
using the same name can be added later. Consider the following Log.mvm
excerpt:
- 1/1/91 addfile fileA
- 1/2/91 delfile fileA
- 1/3/91 addfile fileA (different file)
Delta_SS reads the entire log file and skips entries that refer to files
that have been deleted.
STATUS
This behavior is by design.
