Share & Branch in a single step
I was able to Share and Branch an entire project recursively. Try this:
1st. Use the CP step to set the current VSS project to the one you are branching to / sharing with. For example $/Build History/v 1.0.0.0
2nd. Create a SHARE step and set this to the project that contains the source code. For example $/Source. Also, on the options tab enter -R -E in the text box for additional command line arguments.
The -R command line argument tells VSS to act recursively on the project and the -E argument tells it to branch after sharing. You can't branch a project in Source Safe unless you first Share it.
That's it. I was able to Share and Branch in one step. It works very nicely. Let me know if you have any trouble using this method.
