VSS to TFS migration question\clarification

"Team Foundation source control does not support sharing, therefore, the converter cannot migrate the share links between shared files. You may have to reorganize files that are shared files across projects. During 开发者_如何学编程migration, shared files are migrated by creating a version in the destination folder by using the same content as the version of the file at the time when you started sharing. From then onwards, the changes that were made to the shared file are replicated to both locations."

Does the above statement mean that if i have a shared file shared in 3 different VSS projects, when the migration is complete, there will be four individaul files all at the latest version?

Thanks Ant

there will be four individaul files all at the latest version?

Yes.

Sharing as VSS allows is, but current practice, regarded as a dangerous approach: to confirm that a change works in all shared cases one needs to checkin and get. But that means a potentially erroneous update has been placed into version control.

Good practice: replace sharing with files with a single file that each use references directly or indirectly (eg. via a shared library).
