How do I start a new team project based on an old deleted team project?
How do I start a new team project based on an old deleted team project? I know I can branch from an old version in an arbitrary way, but can the Project Creation Wizard can not handle this.
I cannot do something like this:
tf undelete $/olddeletedproject
or
tf branch $/oldundeletedproject $/resurrectedproject /version:50
As that these operations return this error message:
TF10169: Unsupported pending change attempted on team project folder $/olddeltedproject. Use the Project Creation Wizard in Team Explorer to create a project or
the TfsDeleteProject tool to delete one.
Our current subversion repository has 250 independent projects over 2.5 years. Continuing at this rate we will quickly hit the 500 project maximum, but I would think that I could delete old inactive projects to keep below this number, but that is only feasible if we can resurrect the old information.
A related question, is the sharepoint site document data also really gone when you use TFSDeleteProject.exe? If so, then what kind of project archiving steps do I need to preform to save committed sharepoint documents etc. for future reference before running TFSDeleteProject?
