Any way to speed up Get Latest?

Post by pza » Mon Jan 09, 2006 12:53 pm

It appears that SourceOffSite, when asked to do a 'GetProject' on the command line, will always copy all files, even if the majority of the files in the working work directory are already up to date. Is there any way to update a work directory without copying all files again? Plain old VSS is able to just update the files which are out of date, which is a lot faster than what SourceOffSite is doing, as the proportion of files which have been updated is so small.

We are using the latest version of SourceOffSite, with VSS6 and have a
client->server latency of about 250ms.

The SOS 4.1.2 Command Line Client will fetch the latest versions of all files unless you use the -soshome parameter, which causes the CLC to use the SOS GUI Client database cache. From CLC documentation, soscmd.txt:

Code: Select all

-soshome     The path to the directory where SourceOffSite stores user
             specific data (if the SourceOffSite GUI Client is
             installed).  By default, this directory is "C:\Documents
             and Settings\<user>\Application Data\SourceGear\SOS"
Soscmd.txt is in the SOS GUI Client directory.
