How Do I Revert a Changest in Team Foundation Source Control?

Posted: Sunday, December 18, 2005 1:47 PM by Barry Gervin

This question came up in our VSTS for Developers Training Course in Toronto this week. One of my students wanted to know how to undo or rollback a checkin, something you could do in Visual Source Safe.

Unfortunately this feature was cut for V1 of Team Foundation Server. Buck Hodges and Brian Harry from Microsoft share how this was a painful cut to help get V1 out the door in this forum post. 

Update: James Manning (via the comments) points out that the Team Foundation PowerToy will do this for you. Great tool btw - check it out. Includes the following tools: Unshelve & Merge local changes, Rollback, Online (syncs offline changes to source control), Get Changset, and Undo Unchanged.

One of the features of the tfpt.exe powertoy is the "rollback" feature which will pend the necessary changes for you - doing the diffmerge manually isn't necessary.
