Cannot do a merge

Question

I have a merge candidate that i cannot merge to a branch from source branch. There are no differences between two branches in the files affected but I cannot undo the changeset.

I even tried to perfrom a 'no-merge' merge from command lines of tfs. Still no success.

Every merge attempt says "there are no changes to merge".

I just want to get rid of this merge candidate

Answer 1

There is a command line option that will let you remove a changeset from the candidates to merge.

The command line:

c:\projects>tf merge /discard /version:C137 branch1 branch2 /recursive

should do the trick. If it doesn't I read a couple places that say sometimes you have to use /baseless with this to get rid of changesets that won't go away.
