title: How to "clone" a complete .Net Solution
body: <p>i have a solution(exe) that consists of 3 projects and is under visual sourcesafe sourcecontrol. 
  Now i need a copy because i have to make some major changes that should not affect the original application. So what is the simpliest and safest way to achieve this and avoids conflicts? I also want the new solution to be under sourcecontrol as different project too.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you in advance.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Edit</strong>: I have followed your instructions to create a new branch in source safe. I had to remove some conflicts manually(f.e. references). But now its working. In these moments i know why people suggest to use other version controls than MS VSS.
  Thank you all for your help. </p>
