Changesets newbie

In another post Randy miller explained me about baselines and about how tfs implements it, he told me its called changesets, but as far as I have investigated the tool I dont see how to create changesets, or something, Can someone explain me a little about this.

Thanks

To quote this section of MSDN which you should check out directly:

A changeset is a logical container in which Team Foundation stores everything related to a single check-in operation, specifically: file and folder revisions, links to related work items, check-in notes, a comment, policy compliance and system metadata such as owner name and date/time of check in.

When you check in a set of pending changes, Team Foundation creates a new changeset in the source control server and assigns it a unique changeset number. Changeset numbers increase sequentially. For example, changeset #3 precedes changeset #4, and so on. No two changesets may have the same date/time of check in. Because of this property, changesets also represent particular points in time for the state of the server.

If you're interested in the concept of baselines, I wrote a bit about baselines and what you can do in TF Version Control to get similar functionality:

Rounding the Baselines

I also have a few other posts about pending changes and changesets, if you're interested:

Alice in Changesets

Hope this helps!
