Get by specific version Team Foundation Server stores a complete history of every file it manages. How you want to traverse that history is completely up to you. Sometimes it makes sense to look at the history of a file or set of files based on date. For example, it might make sense to go back to the state the project was in the previous week. Doing a get based on that date would tell Team Foundation Server to figure out the state of each file that the date and synchronize your workspace with the version of files from that time. The get by specific version feature is available in the Source Control Explorer, and can be used for individual files, projects or even entire Team Projects.
