How to: Find Source and Target Names for a Rename?
If you view the history of an item that was renamed, you will see an entry like this in the history dialog:
123 rename username 06/02/2008 09:11:55 AM Comment
Then you try to open the changeset details to know to old name, but it only shows the new name:
NewName.cs rename $/Proj/ParentFolder
If you want to see the old name, you can use the command-line to view detailed history of an item:
tf hist /format:detailed /i $/Proj/ParentFolder/NewName.cs
The history entry preceding changeset 123 will have the old name:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Date: 05/01/2008 04:10:05 PM
