Getting Latest version of a whole changeset

[robe070]

Is it possible to select a change set and just get the latest version of all the files in that changeset?

The scenario is that another developer checks in a large number of changes, maybe 100 files and another needs those changes but does not want to get any other changes in the project.

If you know when the check in occurred, then everything in that check in should have the same time stamp on it. You could perform a Show History and filter it by the time stamp and just get the items with that time stamp.

An option that may be helpful later is if the user shelves the change set before checking in. Then if users want to just pull down the shelve set to look at, they can.

useful ideas. Thanks Beth

Actually the History Explorer gets a version of the whole repository, not a version of the file listed. We need just the specific file(s) in the changeset.

and I can only see Date in Show History. Is there actually a Timestamp somewhere? Note we are on 5.0.3

It would be very useful if the Version Details window allowed a get of any or all files in the change set. Multi-select would be needed and an extra option on right click. Seems like a small change to me.

I requested this a long time ago, maybe 2 years.

I've attached a screenshot of what I see when I perform a show History and filter it for anything on or after 5/10/2011. Then I selected the items with the same time.

Does your history not give the time with the date?

[robe070]

Yes it does give a time. I was looking for it in the Show History options.

But still, you can only get one of those history items and it will then get the repository at that point in time, not just the file.

Enhancement?

[Beth]

Sure. I have logged a feature request on this.
