MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

Start the Visual SourceSafe (VSS) Explorer.

View the History dialog of a file with more than one version.

Select a previous version and click Check Out to check the file out to the local working directory.

Make changes to the file.

In the VSS Explorer select the file again, press SHIFT and then click the Get latest version icon. In the Get <filename> dialog box, click Advance. In the Replace Writable drop-down list box select Merge.

Complete the merge and save the file. This creates a file named FileName.org.

Execute an Undo Checkout for the file. Be sure to select Delete in the Local Copy drop-down list box in the Undo Checkout window.

RESULT: The Undo Checkout process should remove both the local copy of the file and the FileName.org created in step 6 from the users local working directory.

However, after the Undo Checkout completes, the .org file remains in the local working directory.
