Determines default behavior when reconciling differences between projects with the Show Differences command.

Syntax

Reconcile_Project = {Get|Ignore, Delete from folder|Recover deleted file|Add to project|Ignore, Add to project|Ignore, Check In|Undo Check Out|Get|Ignore, Get|Ignore}

Example

Instructs VSS to use the normal default behaviors for reconciling project differences in the Reconcile All Differences dialog box:

Reconcile_Project = Get, Delete, Add, Check In, Get

Remarks

Changing this variable allows you to customize the default choices in the Reconcile All Differences dialog box. The setting for this variable are used when you specify the -F option for the Project Difference command line command.

The first three settings are to specify behavior for reconciling files that appear in only one list:

For files that are not in your working folder. This specifies what you want to happen when VSS finds files that are not in your working folder, but are in the project.  Specify Get (the default) to get files missing from your working folder. Specify Ignore to take no action with these files.

Files that are deleted in the project. This specifies what you want to happen when VSS finds files that are in your working folder, but have been deleted in the project.  Specify Delete from folder (the default) to delete these files from your working folder.  Specify Recover delted file to recover the deleted file and place a copy in your working folder.  Specify Add to project to add these files back to your project. Specify Ignore to take no action with these files.

Files that are not in the project at all. This specifies what you want to happen when VSS finds files that are not in your project, but are in your working folder.  Specify Add to Project (the default) to add these files to your VSS project.  Specify Ignore to take no action with these files.

The last two settings specify behavior for reconciling files that appear in both lists:

Files that you have checked out. This specifies what you want to happen when VSS finds files that are checked out to you, and are different in your working folder.  Specify Check In (the default) to check these files into your VSS project. Specify Undo Check Out to undo the check out on these files.  Specify Get Latest Version to overwrite your checked out file with a read-only copy (losing any changes you may have made).  Specify Ignore to take no action with these files.

Files that you do not have checked out. This specifies what you want to happen when VSS finds files that are not out to you, but are different in your working folder.  Specify Get Latest Version (the default) to get the latest version of these files. Specify Ignore to take no action with these files.
