SUMMARY
=======
Certain SourceSafe operations by default implicitly GET a local copy of a file.
This is partially documented in the Online Help for the -G command line option
MORE INFORMATION
================
The following commands perform a GET when they are executed from the command
line or the Visual SourceSafe Explorer:
Pin
Recover
Rollback
Share
Undocheckout
Unpin
This is by design. SourceSafe assumes that changes made to files in a project
should be echoed to the project's working folder (directory). The GET does not
happen under two conditions:
1. If there is no working folder set for the project in the Visual SourceSafe
Explorer.
2. When you use the -G- switch on the command line.
For some of these operations, the Visual SourceSafe Explorer provides a way to
override the default behavior. For more information, please refer to the User's
guide and Online Help for the individual commands.
