As far as I can tell, VSS does not have very good reporting capabilities.
It is possible to declare a project version (VSS calls this a "label"), and
you can examine an individual file's history to see the labels and
associated file versions, and you can do a "get" to get all the files with a
specific label attached, but I've never seen a report of the file versions
that go with a label.
VSS is a good example of the Microsoft way in a new (to them) market - put
out a product (usually purchased elsewhere) that does just enough and make
it fairly easy to use. With VSS they've never followed up (as they
sometimes do) with new versions that have more advanced functionality.
So is anyone using any other source control system that integrates with
Studio 4.5?

I'm reposting this. Anyone use Visual SourceSafe (VSS) for more than just
check-in/check-out?

Our network administrator finally installed VSS, and I've successfully
hooked
it into my existing CF Studio projects. But VSS looks pretty limited
compared
to what I've used on UNIX systems. (Heck, CMS on the VAX beats it.) I
expect
a source control tool to tell me which version of which files were in a
given
release of my software. For example:
Project ABC v1.4
=============
page1.cfm v2
page2.cfm v5
page3.cfm v1
Project ABC v1.5
=============
page1.cfm v2
page2.cfm v6
page3.cfm v4
page4.cfm v1
Can VSS do this? I'd greatly appreciate any help. The on-line help and
MSDN
don't offer much, and I see no books out there.
Thanks.
