Undo changes of a change set without touching the sandbox
Hi!
I'm looking for a way to remove some change that accidentally landed in a changeset. I do want to keep the modified file though, so I don't want to undo the change in the sandbox, but I want to remove it from the changeset only. Apart from loading the file, undoing in changeset and sandbox and then overwriting the changed file, does RTC offer any facility for that? Thanks! Uli |

I haven't found a proper solution, but at least a workaround. If you open the file from the changeset in the diff viewer and keep the diff viewer open, you can then undo the change from the changeset and save the content of the diff viewer.
Two problems here: 1. The file will be saved, the timestamp bumped which means that e.g. "make" will consider the file changed and rebuild dependencies. 2. You must work around bug 186491, i.e. make a modification before saving, so that it considers the content of the diff viewer worth saving. Uli |
Hi!Is this a file you want to put into source control eventually? Because you can move the change to a new change set. If you didn't want to check it in at all, I would recommend creating a patch for those changes instead of some trick with the compare editor. You would apply the patch after undoing the change to get it back as an unresolved change. |
