Tidying up old version of jobs in Version Control

Post by fridge »

I think I know the answer to this already - but is anyone aware of a 'safe' way to remove old versions of jobs from VC

I know they can be marked deleted - but still leaves the objects in the repository - ideally would like to purge old jobs as effects performance when promoting / initialising as the VC project is quite bloated

No. :(

I've contemplated some sort of job to remove everything but the 'most recent' version of everything as my VC Projects are full of crap but never had the time nor intimate knowledge of the APM hashes to do that. I resorted to creating a new Project and migrating things there going forward, forcing all Initializations to a higher Major number.

I agree with Craig. It is easier to start a new project.
