Question
Handling successive versions of the same help project in VSS
If I understand it correctly, RHX5 always gets the
most-recent version of a version-controlled project from Visual
SourceSafe. Sometimes, however, I may want to build an older,
labeled version of the project. By using VSS directly, I think I
would be able to check the old labeled version out to a working
directory. But my concern is that if I tried to open the project in
RH it will get confused and start checking out the latest version
again. If so, can this be avoided?
Another way of asking the same question is this: Suppose I write a help system for Release 1 of my application, put it in VSS and label it accordingly. Then I start updating the project for Release 2. If it turns out I have to make some fixes to the Release 1 version, ignoring the changes that relate to work on Release 2, what's the best way of handling this?
