Why, when I select "get latest version" it does not really get the latest version.
If I delete a local file, and I want it back, I select get latest ... only to find it does not get it. Instead I get an "All files are up to date" message.

What up?

TFS's get latest version actually gets only what files the server thinks you are missing or were changed.

Thus if you want to get the latest version regardless of what the server thinks, you should select "Get specific version" and then check both of the Overwrite checkboxes.
