#299 Team->Refresh Overwrites Check-out Files of Other Users
If you use the "Team->Refresh" command, it overwrites the current state of currently checked-out files. This makes working in a shared environment impossible, because if just one person performs this command, it wipes out everyone's current work. Doing a VSS refresh or "Get Latest Version" should only refresh non-checked out files, because the checked-out version *IS* the latest version.
We have experienced this very damaging bug. This almost makes the plugin unusable. Is development still continuing on this plugin? It appears that a simple Eclipse level node Refresh command would be needed before the Team Refresh option was run, but I'm not sure.
It should be noted for debugging purposes that this issue occurs when the source code is kept in the same place for all developers, for example: A network share, and the Eclipse project is created with direct access to it. Code is in one spot, but VSS is still tracking it, instead of a local download on check out.
