We completely lost our repository, and we have 8 developers with uninstalled changes. It is assumed that restoring from a backup is not possible.
If one person can have access to all working copies (file copy or remote access), is it possible to combine the changes in our working copies with one working copy? The final working copy can then be imported into a new repo.
In short, can you combine two different working copies without a server?
edit: please don't scare me so that I don't have backups; this part is out of my control. It was assumed that they received support at night.
Followup : this is what we did:
- It began with the most recent working copy of all developers.
- Imported to a new repo.
- Work with the latest version of the working copy to the oldest, ONLY files with changes are copied, which were then committed.
- rinse-rinse-repeat 6 times. (2 devs did not have unauthorized changes).
- exported all old working copies, secured them and stored for safe storage, if necessary.
- Our changes in the release management database have been updated to a very young repo.
