Will TFS Rollback also revert the check-in date?

With VS 2019, I checked in some changes that I made to a dtsx package. The changeset history looks like below; my changeset is 4021:

Changeset    Change    User        Date    Path
4021         Edit      Joe Smith   2/8/23  $/dev/ReadFile.dtsx
3816         Edit      Harry Joe   9/2/22  $/dev/ReadFile.dtsx

I want to rollback to changeset 3816, but I also want to remove changeset 4021 from the History.

Is this possible? I understand that the rollback will revert ReadFile.dtsx to the changeset that I selected, but it seems that I have to check-in again, which will add another changeset.

Solution

  • No, you cannot delete a changeset from history*. The rollback command will reverse the change as a new checkin and History will be preserved.

    '*' you might be able to if you go poking around in the TFS database, but this is dangerous and should not be attempted.
