Multiple open Changesets?

[David Hawley]

I've been looking for a feature I used with the P***rce SCM tool, the ability to work on multiple changesets simultaneously.
This is nice if you're working on multiple fixes or multiple projects, and want to track/checkin each separately.

I can't see how to do this with Vault. Am I missing something?

You can't do that with Vault, but I usually keep track by changing the sort on the pending change set. I usually sort by date, but sometimes also by disk path, so that I can keep all changes to a certain branch together. You can then Ctrl-select all of the changes you want to check in, right click and choose Commit to bring up the commit dialog with only those changes.

I guess I'm not surprised it currently can't be done - I installed the ClientAPI and noticed there was no ChangeSet class.

Thanks for the idea for a workaround. Sounds like it would help when working on multiple components/projects; may not work when working on different fixes in the same folder.

Changesets are really a good idea. The pending changesets are the place to record what the changeset is for (e.g. incident #, feature#) before its committed, to make it clear to both yourself and to make your activity visible to others in your organization too.

Feature Request?

Sure thing, I'll update the feature request.
