Branching a SQL 2008 Project with MSSCCI 2008 (2.1)

Question

I have a SQL project/solution that I have added to source control (TFS 2008) through SQL Management Studio 2008.  This works fine until I try to branch the project.  When I do that, very strange things happen, such as checking out a file on the new branch causing the file on the main branch to be checked out instead.  When I look at the solution and project files in notepad, I notice they specify the SccProjectName as the full path in TFS to the main branch ($/Sql/MainBranch).  I assume this is why the confusion happens.  Is there an update I don't have or a different way to branch?

Hi Taurin,

MSSCCI will try to bind the server item defined in SccProjectName0 of .ssmssln file . and then map the server item to new local path.



You can try to Modify the .ssmssln file to bind to the branch item (SccProjectName0).

Best Regards,
