TFS 2008 Branching always adds root folder

Question

I'm trying to create a branch for QA using TFS 2008

I have my main code in the trunk folder.

When I perform the branch, I select a qa folder which I created to be mirror the trunk folder.

However, when I perform the branch, it puts the trunk folder inside the qa folder, which is not what I want. I want the qa folder to be a mirror of the trunk folder.

Is this possible with TFS 2008?

Answer 1

Are you performing the branch operation from the root of the team project, or from the Trunk folder itself? If you are branching from the root, then any branch created will contain the Trunk folder, whereas if you branch directly from the Trunk folder your QA folder should mirror what's in the Trunk folder.
