Is there a way in VS 2010 with TFS 2008 to check in your changes as a new branch?

Question

My question is rather simple I have made many changes in our project which I don't want to merge with the main branch right away. I did not take a branch at the start of these changes while I was making them. So now I tried to find a way to take branch to check in my code but there does not seem to be a solution. How can I do this and what is the best approach to take. I am using Visual Studio 2010 which connects to TFS 2008.

Thanks a lot.
