Renegade files in Pending Change Set

Would it make sense to have Renegade files appear as part of my Pending Change Set in vault client?

I have been having a problem where every one of my files that I have checked in has been marked as renegade and therefore is not a part of our build. The end result is that I keep seeing the same errors in our development environment that I am sure that I fixed in code. I finally had to use Reflector to look at the compiled dll on my build server to realize that what i was checking in was not making it into Vault. Upon doing a search in Vault I realized that my files had been marked as renegade and consequently were not being included in the build.

I think that this may have something to do with the fact that I switch working modes to CVS style, checked out some files and then switched back to VSS style before I checked those files back in.

If you switch back to CVS mode, all of your renegade files will turn into Edited files, and they should be able to be checked in. In VSS mode, you have to have a file checked out in order for it to be checked in, so a renegade files (which means the file edited by not checked out) can't be checked in.

If you want to work in VSS mode, that shouldn't be a problem, but you just need to make sure the files that are edited are checked out first.

Maybe Vault could, when you switch modes from CVS to VSS, ask you if you want to checkout the files that you edited while you were in CVS mode? What do you think.

Obviously, in the meantime, I can make sure to check out the files that I have edited when I switch modes back.
