Replicating a Repository into Another One

Scott Mitchell · Post by **Scott Mitchell** » Tue Aug 02, 2005 5:26 pm

I am using Vault 3.x to create an ASP.NET application. I have the code for the application in a repository, let's call it X. What I want to do is create a new repository Y, and make a copy of X's code/files into Y. What's the easiest way to do this?

What I tried was unbinding my VS.NET project and then opting to Add Solution to Source Control as the new repository. This caused more pain than I thought possible.

Any suggestions on lessening this pain would be most appreciated. TIA

What I tried was unbinding my VS.NET project and then opting to Add Solution to Source Control as the new repository. This caused more pain than I thought possible.

I did this by using Change Source Control to unbind the project. Then I closed VS.NET, reopened, chose "Add to Source Control," logged into the new repository and added the project.

What types of problems did you run into when you tried this?

Are you trying to keep the project in both repositories?
