I see a file in pending changes window. I try to compare it with latest version and I get an a message 'The files are identical' If the files are identical why is this file showing up in pending changes window? What changed about this file? Can I configure TFS not to list files that are identical?

To undo all changes you have made in your solution or a code project, open the context menu, and then choose Undo Pending Change. In the Undo Pending Changes dialog box, make sure the changes you want to undo are selected, and then choose Undo Changes.
Select that folder in TFS explorer and right click. you will see the option "Checkin Pending changes.." Show activity on this post. In the team explorer open up the source control tab, then right click on the route folder and select Check in Pending Changes.
CTRL + [, P to get pending changes and if the file has been modified it will be in the list.
This is normal if a file becomes automatically checked out due to a change, and if ultimately the contents of the file are changed back to it's original state. At that point you would see the message about identical contents upon comparison.
This blog entry describes a not-so intuitive way of dealing with this; and in the comments there is an even better suggestion on dealing with it through the command line via TFS power tools.
TFS pending changes ignoring identical files...
