Visual Studio 2017 Cannot Move Shelveset to Another Branch

Question

Since they have supposedly integrated most of the Power Tools functionality into VS2017, the new command \"tf unshelve\" does not work the same as the old command \"tfpt unshelv

Answer 1

Unfortunately move Shelveset to Another Branch with the command "tftp unshelve" or "tf unshelve" is still not supported for now in VS 2017.

There's already a feedback submitted here to track that, just as Youhana Naseim [MSFT] mentioned below (source here) :

For VS 2017 we do not have a power tools release. We are constantly evaluating the features that are still missing in the product. The three most notable ones are:

• TFS Windows Shell Extensions integration

• Find by Status for server workspaces

• Unshelve /migrate

So as a workaround, you can try below ways:

• Use tf unshelve and tf rename command to achieve this in two steps.
  1). c:\projects>tf unshelve 2). c:\projects>tf rename 314.c ..\newdir\1254.c
• Copy shelved files manually to target folders and do compare against the server version as Alexander Nikonov mentioned here.
• Install VS2015 and Microsoft Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2015 Power Tools.
