SourceSafe Log and Data Files

 		   Prev Page   Next Page
ZDS SourceSafe Internals
By: Dave Goodall

 

*Project 'log' files contain a field pointing to the parent 'abcdaaaa' project. A project can have only one parent.
*Project 'data' files contain records each of which contains an 'wxyzaaaa' pointer to a child project or file Any of these may be marked as (logically) deleted.
*File 'log' files contain at least one 'abcdaaaa' parent (project) file pointer. Because SourceSafe supports a 'Sharing' feature, a File 'log' file may have MULTIPLE parent project pointers. File log files contain the (delta) information required to reconstruct previous versions of the current 'data' file.
*File 'data' files contain the latest complete unexpurgated version of the file that has been checked in.
