Branching from a labeled version after a move


Our problem is that when we were importing stuff from VSS into TFS we had to move some folders around to get a coherent folder strucutre for our source.

Now, we need to branch from a labeled version that was labeled in VSS. We can find the label, but the contents of the label are the old file locations.

When I try branching from the current location in the GUI, it can't find anything matching the label. When I try with the command line like so

f:\newtest\tal\trading\oms\Tradesrv3>tf branch f:\newtest\TAL\trading\oms\tradesrv3 f:\newtest\tal\trading\branches\tradesrv3-v1.0.82.0 /version:L1.0.82.0

I get the error


TF14064: Could not find label 1.0.82.0@$/TAL/trading/oms/tradesrv3.

When I try branching from the old location, it only "branches" the root folder of the project, non of the files or subfolders. When I try using the /recursive option listed in the docs, it says "no such command recursive".

Needless to say I am very frustrated.

Branching from the GUI won't work -- you have to specify the old name, and there's no way to do that in the GUI.

This isn't really an option, since the folder we are trying to branch has checkout locks. And as a generaly practice I don't want to force everyone to check-in or unlock before we can cut a branch.

If this fix will not be included in SP1 is there any chance it will be in a hotfix?

If this is blocking you, you can call Customer Support and request a hotfix. Reference this thread and TFS bug #100483.
