using the command line TFS client

Question

I'm trying to use the TFS command line client (tf.exe). When I run 'tf get someProject' it hangs, and then says 'All files are up to date'. Nothing is downloaded. How can I get files from TFS using the command line client? Thanks,

Answer 1

Are you using the /recursive switch to tell TFS to get everything in the Team Project? If you are then it sounds like TFS thinks that you already have the latest version in your local workspace. If you know this is incorrect you can use /force switch which tells TFS to ignore what it thinks is in the workspace and get everything (this will take a while if you have a large codebase and / or lots of branches)
