Branching a project in Visual SourceSafe 6

If you want to create a duplicate of a project, say for a new version, this is the routine to follow. It took me several attempts to find the correct combination...

  1. Right click the parent project folder of the new project destination, normally, this would be $/
  2. Click "Share..."
  3. Select the current project folder that you want to branch
  4. Tick the "Branch after share" option to make surte they are now separate
  5. Click "Share"
  6. Enter the name for the new project
  7. Make sure "recursive" is ticked
  8. Click "OK" and wait
