Renegade Status meaning

[tschneider]

Hello,

i want to know the meaning of the Status 'renegade'.
Many of my sourcefiles shows this status in VisualStudio SolutionExplorer and it seems that these files are not considered by check-in. How can i make sure that all files are correctly checked-in and what causes the files to get renegade status?

Renegade means you edited a file without checking it out first or the file is not recognized as checked out on the current machine's ID (DOMAIN\HOSTNAME). To check the changes in, check out the file and it will go to an Edited status. Then you can check it in.

To avoid renegades you either need to Check Out if you're using VSS mode, or you can avoid check outs by using CVS mode. Those settings are in the Vault Tools - Options - Concurrent Development Style.
