- EvanAnderson 10y agoThanks for jumping in here, Alex. If you have a moment to indulge a couple more questions I'd appreciate it. Will that archive have the same "fidelity" as the project-owner's archive? Will either archive include the complete commit history for the source code, or is it just a snapshot of the code as of the site going read-only?
- alexmullans 10y agoSorry for the delay - this response got caught up in the rate limiter. Yes, the archive functionality is available to everyone, and will export the source code, documentation, license, issues, and downloads. For source code history, it depends on the source code type. For Git and Mercurial projects, we'll include the .git/.hg folder so you have the full history; for TFS, it'll be just the snapshot as of read-only.
- EvanAnderson 10y agoThanks very much for the answers. I really appreciate it!

- peteri 10y agoCan I just ask that it is complete including things like issue trackers etc. I've not been to codeplex much recently but I went to get hold of an older AvalonDock version documentation. There have been a couple of repos on codeplex where I've visited not for the code but for the issues (bug fixes I've remembered seeing in the past) as I've got the same problem (stackoverflow pointed me to codeplex).
