File "Renamed by Vault", why?

Post by PhilS » Mon Feb 13, 2017 10:52 am

Hi!
We are using SQL Server Management Studio Solutions/Projects and connected to Vault (4.1) via the "Sourcegear Vault Classic Client" in SSMS.
I just noticed that some months ago something must have gone wrong with one file. The file in the local working folder has "Renegade" state and contains stuff that does not belong in there, most likely due to user error.

But there is another file in the local working folder (not in the repository) "MyOriginalFileName - Renamed by Vault", this contains the correct contents of the file.

The whole situation was probably caused by user error, but I do not understand what exactly went wrong here.
I would like to know when and why would it happen that a file is Renamed by Vault, to prevent this issue in the future.

Thank you!

Beth

The "renamed by Vault" can happen when items are moved to a location where something with the same name already exists, or an item is renamed to a name that already exists.
