branching team project

Question

I have the following at Source Control Explorer

TFSServer/teamCollection + teamproject

Is is possible to branch /teamproject to /teamproject-dev? The output should be

TFSServer/teamCollection/ + teamproject-dev

I tried and it gave me error:
TF10175: The team project folder $/teamproject-dev does not exist. Contact your Team Foundation Server Administrator and ask that it be created.

Answer 1

Top level folders in source control are reserved for team projects. If you create a new "teamproject-dev" project you could branch the code from the existing "teamproject" into the new -dev project via the wizard.

Alternatively set up a proper branching structure inside teamproject. Read the TFS Branching Guide for more information.
