I need to create a branch at a specific Changeset in TFS. Is this doable?
For example, I have changeset 1528 that was the last check in on my project. But I want to branch from changeset 1487. Can this be done?
If so, how?
Note: I am using TFS 2008

Use the drag and drop operation to merge branches You can use the drag and drop feature to merge a changeset or a branch to another branch. For more information, see Merge folders and files.
Take searching for a changeset in Visual Studio's TFS Source Explorer. Luckily if super easy to do! When you're in the Source Explorer, simply press Ctrl + G and the Find ChangeSet dialog will appear.
Right-click the main branch, point to Branching and Merging, and then click Merge… The Source Control Merge Wizard appears. On the Select the source and target branches for the merge operation screen: In Source branch, specify the main branch.
Yes. When a branch is created you can choose the historical point in time when it takes effect (date, changeset, etc).
See Visual Studio TFS Branching and Merging Guide for some great information on recommended branching practices.
Or How to: Branch Files and Folders (MSDN) for more explicit instructions on getting this dialog up to create a branch.
