TFS in Visual Studio: Exclude specific branches from update

Question

I'm using TFS Source Control within the Visual Studio. We've a folder with a lot of branches in it. When I right click on the folder an select "Get latest version", all branches are downloaded. How can I exclude branches from being updated? Update every included branch manually seems to be to tedious. Thanks Konrad

Answer 1

As I found out: I can cloak single folders and branches ... that excludes them from being updated. http://blogs.objectsharp.com/post/2012/11/13/Cloaked-folders-in-the-TFS-Build-Workspace.aspx

You could create a batch file including a get latest for all required branches. See the get command.
