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. William Bartholomew From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Patrick Green Sent: Friday, 14 December 2007 1:58 PM To: [email protected] 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?
