Unable to Merge


I have been unable to merge changed files from a Source to a Destination. I select the Source project and Merge. I then select the Destination and tell it to use a specific changeset.

The changed file then appears in the Pending Changes tab. I select the file and Check In. A resolve files dialog then appears. There are two options: Undo local changes and Igrnore Conflict.

If I select Undo local changes the file disappears from Pending Changes but never is actually merged and does not appear in the History.

If I select Ignore Conflict the file still appears in Pending Changes and nothing ever happens.

Is this a bug and, if so, how do I work around it?

Sounds like a namespace conflict. Please see these blog entries:

I tried tf merge and tf resolve and never got it to work. My only choice was to delete the file in the target, copy the file from the source, and add the file. I'm seeing some severe problems here. Is there a Service Pack coming out?

SP1 does not change the way namespace conflicts are handled. I'll admit it's not intuitive, but I'm confident that following Mario's steps exactly would've allowed you to resolve such conflicts correctly.

Several hours of working through the steps and getting errors back tells me TFS has some problems.

If you provide more details we can help you.
