Info

Guidelines: Source Control Index Accessing Version Control • Consider using command-line tools. • Use Microsoft® Visual Studio® 2005 Team Foundation Power Tools (TFPT) to unshelve a change. • Use Team Foundation Power Tools to roll back a change. • Use Team Foundation Power Tools to work offline. • Use Team Foundation Power Tools to get a changeset. • Use Team Foundation Power Tools to remove pending edits. Administration • Turn off inherited permissions on maintenance branches. • Deny check-in permissions to developers you do not yet trust to make changes to your source. Branch / Label / Merge • Use labels to mark builds you might need to return to. • Use branches to isolate supported releases. • Plan your branching structure along merge paths. • Branch at a high level, including configuration and source files. • Do not branch too deeply. • Do not branch unless you need to. • Avoid baseless merges where possible. • Prefer full merges to “cherry-pick” merges. • Merge frequently. • Always create a top-level folder for a new team project to serve as a main branch. • Consider using the candidate or preview switch to double-check before merging. • When renames are part of the merge, pay close attention to the path that the tool recommends. • Be careful when resolving merge conflicts. • Check in the results of one merge at a time. • Build and run tests after the merge and prior to check-in. Check-ins and Check-in Policies • Only check in your code when you are ready to share it. • Use shelvesets to back up or share pending changes. • Resolve one work item per check-in. • Use check-in policies to enforce coding standards. • Use check-in policies to enforce a code quality gate.
• Detect when a policy has been overridden. • Plan to avoid conflicts. Checkout, Get, and Lock • Get the latest source before making changes. • Use the lock command with discretion. • Communicate with your teammates when locking files. Dependencies • Use project references whenever possible. • Use file references only where necessary. • Use copy local = true for project and file references. • Use dynamic URLs when referencing Web services. Distributed / Remote Development • Make sure that you get an appropriately sized disk drive for your proxy. • Create a scheduled task to pull the latest files on a periodic basis. • Periodically monitor proxy performance counters and the event log. • Configure executionTimeout based on file sizes and bandwidth. • Disable the proxy if it is going to be down for an extended time period. • Consider workspace cloaking to reduce unnecessary file transfers. Migration • Use the VSS converter to migrate to Team Foundation Server Source Control. • Migrate from other source-control systems to Team Foundation Server Source Control. Project / Workspace Management • Isolate a single developer using workspaces rather than branches. • Delete and rename files by using source control, not Microsoft Windows® Explorer. • Only delete and rename with your solution open. • Create one team project per application if you want to move your assets between application versions. • Create one team project per version if you want to start fresh with each application version. • Use branching to share code and binaries that require integration testing. • Avoid workspace mapping to support cross-project dependencies. • Create workspace mappings at the team project root level. • Use a unique local folder path on shared computers. • Consider mapping only part of the source tree. • Structure your source tree to support branching.
