How do you find missing changesets if there is a gap in the timeline?
Accepted answer
In the current release (4.0.1), this is a manual process.
There are high priority work items designed to help automate this.
One workaround is:
Open the change set that you cannot accept in the change explorer.
Select one of the files in the change set, and open that file in the "history" view.
Try to accept all of the change sets for that file.
If that still fails with gaps, find the earliest change-set in that history that you don't have in your workspace (you can use the "Locate Change Sets" operation to help with that). And start accepting that and its successor change sets until you hit a gap. Look at the change set with a gap, and start doing the same operation on another file in that other change set.
