I have a problem with one of my projects in TFS. The GUI shows that the folder has not been downloaded, but no matter what I do I cannot actually get it to download.

A bit of history - I had a project with the following structure

Product
|
---Shared Lib Branch
|
--- Src

Shared Lib Trunk
|
--- Src

I made changes in the trunk, then tried to merge them into the branch. Every time I tried the merge it would get to a the same file in auto resolve and freeze completely (VS locked up). Eventually I gave up deleted the branch and then created a new branch with from the latest trunk.

Unfortunately for some reason the Src folder under the branch will not download. I have tried 'Get Latest', 'Get Specific with force and overwrite', and tf.exe but it always reports that the folder is up to date.

If I delete the folder it still reports it is up to date. I have seen similar type situations where there are multiple mappings for the directory in the workspace, however in this case there is only one.

Other users seem to be able to get the full folder tree including the problem folder, so my question is why can't I ?

Please post your workspace mappings. (the output of 'tf workfold' will do)

The fix for the resolve-hanging issue is in SP1, by the way.
