Branching in Visual Source Safe

We need to create a new project in Visual Source safe. This project is actually a newer version of an existing project. Following is what we want.

1. All 开发者_JAVA技巧files of existing project are copied to new project.
2. Files in both projects are not shared. (Changing a file in one project should not affect the same file in other project)
3. All Visual Studio solutions and projects are bound to new project in source safe.

Whats is the best and easiest way of doing this?

You should use the share and branch option...

MSDN help (works with folders as well as files)

This will break the link between the two copies meaning that you can change files in one project without affecting the other one.
