Take a look on Undo Unchanged command of the Team Foundation Server Power Tools August 2011 c:\myProject> tfpt uu . /noget /recursive Thanks Matt Florence for link update. Thanks Ray Vega for actual syntax.
TFS redefined what “Get Latest” does. In TFS terms, Get Latest means get the latest version of the files, but ignore the ones that the server thinks is already in your workspace. Which to me and just about everyone else on the planet is wrong. See this link: http://blogs.microsoft.co.il/blogs/srlteam/archive/2009/04/13/how-get-latest-version-really-works.aspx The only way to get it … Read more
