>I'm not sure how it got into that state. It's a new "space" in TFS for our project, so I don't think it was migrated from an older version. I think all that was done is create a new folder, give access to us and we started checking in code in a sub-folder.

It's ok, you give me enough information. A new repository without a branch, just a folder. I don't imagine it was possible with the new versions of TFS and that should be at least one branch. This fix should solve well the problem so we can merge...

> I've now created a branch. Let me see if I can get the TFS admin to create a new folder temporarily to see if this solution works. But it won't be till mid next week at the earliest.

No, create a new folder can't help us reproduce the problem. The problem occurs when you have NO branches and now, you have one...

@spraints I think we could merge.
