Patrick,

 

This is a problem I've come across while trying to do exactly the same
thing, although I haven't got around to actually doing it yet there are
two solutions I can see:

 

1.       Creating a merge tool that carries across the comment and work
item information. We considered creating one that allows you to merge
based on work items rather than changesets.

2.       Use the TFS Version Control API to follow the history back
across the branches.

Subject: [OzTFS] Merging of changeset to new branch. Unable to get
details of merged from changesets.

 

We currently have a Mainline which is branched to Release.  When I merge
a changeset from Mainline to release the information from the original
changeset(Comments, WorkItems etc) are not shown or referenced in the
new changeset in the Release Branch.

 

I would like to be able to generate ReleaseNotes by doing a
changeset/workitem query on the Release branch, but because the work was
carried out in Mainline and merged selectively to Release, and the
information doesn't seem to come across, I cant get this info.

 

Does anyone know if this can be done? Or of any alternative to know if
the status of the Mainline Changeset would show that it was merged to
release?

 

Regards

 

Patrick Green
