What is the point of the following message after gated check-in? It doesn't make sense to me. "If you did not undo your local pending changes when you submitted your check-in, you may need to reconcile your workspace with the repository."

A gated check-in is a process that restricts developers from merging a broken code into the source control system—something every software company wants to establish.
The reconcile command compares the current state of the workspace on disk with the server's view, either to clean the workspace or to promote unpended local changes.
Gated checkin is a form of continuous integration build. In TFS, it creates a shelveset containing the code that's being validated, then runs a build of that code. Only if that code builds successfully and all configured unit tests pass does the code actually get committed.
Let's say you are performing a Gated Check-in of a Single file - Progam.cs.
When you perform a Gated Check-in and choose not to undo your local changes, you Shelve Program.cs to the server and perform a build with the Latest code + that Shelveset. If the build succeeds, then TFS automatically Checks in the shelveset (containing your changes to Program.cs) into the source control.
Now, because you didn't undo the changes on your local workspace, you will still have Progam.cs as a "Pending Change" with the status of "edit". This "edit" is not needed as TFS has already checked in your change. Clicking "Reconcile..." will undo that local change and bring it in line with what is on the server.
