TFS : Can a shelveset be restored to another location?
Question
I have the following scenario:
A user shelves some changes. Time goes by and a new branch of the product is created. Later, it is determined that the shelveset contains code, that we will need in the new branch.
By default; Visual Studio can only restore the shelveset changes to the location where they were shelved from. Is it possible to restore my shelveset in the new branch ? I do not want the code to be checked into the original branch, as it would break stuff.
Solution
It is possible with the TFS Power Tools.
See: Can I unshelve to a different branch in tfs 2008?
Note the "migrate" option.
