TFS Integration Platform – Baseless Merge: Question & Answers 8

  • Article

This morning I spotted a great question from one of our external Rangers and the answer by Pei.

  1. Does the current TFS2010 Version Control adapter support baseless merges?
    • The current TFS2010 adapter supports baseless merge.
  2. Does the Adapter handle baseless merges implicitly or do I have to mark a merge action as baseless merge?
    • The adapter handle baseless merges implicitly. TFS2010 adapter will try merge first, when it gets a NoMergeRelationshipException, the adapter  will then try to do a baseless merge.

I did some digging and here is the relevant code in the TFS VC Adapter, as mentioned above:

… so many features hidden within the platform :)
