The display generated by Paths on the VSS command line is formatted differently from the display generated by the Paths tab in the Properties dialog box on the File menu. Both contain the same information, but users who switch between the two should take extra care to avoid confusion.
In the VSS command-line program, the Paths command might show a display like the following.
TEST.C
$/A
TEST.C (Branched at version 5)
$/B
$/C
TEST.C (Branched at version 4)
$/D
The preceding display shows that the file began in project $/A, one branch was created at version 5 in project $/B, which is also shared in $/C; and another branch, also directly off of the file in $/A, was created at version 4 in $/D.
