Reverse of change set containing Eclipse Project Deletion


Marshall Schor (1012624) | asked Jul 12 '11, 2:48 p.m.
In a repository Workspace we looked at the history of a component, and found a change set which had deleted some Eclipse projects, and did a "reverse". This created a patch, which we then merged, which resulted in the projects being added back in Eclipse.

So far, so good.

However, the pending changes did not show any "unresolved" things for these projects. It appears these projects were created in Eclipse, but not "shared" with RTC.

The documentation says a change set should have been created. Did we do something wrong, or is this a bug?

What documentation are you referring to? Regardless, I think it would be worthwhile to open a work item for this as I think it is highly likely that the user would want the reverse of the change set to result in the creation of shared projects.

The online help documentation is incorrect. The reversed changes are only merged into your workspace. In your case, the reversal of the deletion will bring back the projects into your workspace but they have to be reshared.

You can also discard the change set to get back your deleted projects. It has a similar result as a change set reversal. There are a couple of differences. You don't get a change set showing that the resources were added back. The history will show the projects were never deleted and will still be shared. Second, any changes in that change set that you wanted to keep will be removed as well.
