File Status Determination (Windows CE 5.0)
When you use a source code control system, you must be able to determine the status of files within that system.
Determining a file's status can do the following:
Prevent collisions in groups with multiple developers
Ensure that you are working on current files
Determine whether you have access to a file
Provide historical status of files, to determine when and what changes were made and by whom
In you want to know what changes were made to a file, either recently or throughout its existence, you can request that the source code control system show a history for the file.
Some source code control systems allow you to select only a single file.
The type of detail shown in the file histories depends on the source code control system.
It is best to review the changes you made to a file before you check the file in. Your source code control system displays the differences between your local copy of the file and the master copy in your source code control project.
