Extra command line switches on VSSGET
Summary: Extra command line switches on VSSGET
Product: Ant
Version: 1.5
Platform: Other
OS/Version: Other
Status: NEW
Severity: Enhancement
Priority: Other
Component: Optional Tasks
AssignedTo: ant-dev@jakarta.apache.org
ReportedBy: f_ohagan@hotmail.com
We have found a problem with VSSGET when running a build. A common task is to
get the latest version of the code from SourceSafe, and then copy over the top
of this the files that a developer has been working on (before checking in).
This doesn't work, because by default, the time stamp on all the files will be
the time of the get, not the time the files were modified. So none of your
locally modified files have a later timestamp and are ignored.
There are command line switches that can change this, as listed in bug <a
href="http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4387">4387</a>.
It would be very useful if there were an additional attribute / nested tag that
could take any arbitrary command line switch to be added to the ss command,
like with the <arg> tag in the <java> task.
I think it would also help people to put something about this in the
documentation. There's a work around, which is to open the VSS client, and
choose Tools|Options and change 'Set date/time on local files' on the 'Local
files' tab. This changes the behaviour of the command line operation as well as
the GUI.
