How to undo checkout

[Soho]

Hi,

I am a bit confused about the state of this file in pending changes.

The status is "Controlled / Changed"

I don't want to check any changes in (I don't know how the .suo file crept into source control in the first place), but the context menu does not provide options for undoing checkout.

I am also confused that I can both check out and check in the file in the context menu.

Why is that and how should I undo checkout for this file?

Hello Soho,

Having the .suo inside the version control system is not a good idea.

PlasticSCM Visual Studio plugin doesn't add this type of files by its own.

So the best thing you can do is to remove the file from PlasticSCM (keeping it in disk) and continue working as a private file.

The status is "Controlled / Changed" due to it's under PlasticSCM control but it has been changed without doing it a checkout. I'm sure Visual Studio did it. You can learn more about files status at: http://www.plasticscm.com/releases/3.0.1/manuals-html/en/userguide.htm#_Toc280187955

To undo this change you can update it forced or checkout it and then undo checkout it.

Once it's controlled again remove it from the system, you will save a lot of headaches

I found out that another developer working on our build server accidentally added the .suo file.

Anyway, a force update does not work, but a checkout followed by an undo works.

Hi Soho,

are you sure that the 'Update forced' is doing nothing? There is neither an update error report?
