How to merge new files into another branch in TFS?

Question

Ok, in TFS we have a main trunk branch and another branch, let\'s call it secondary. We have created a new file in the trunk but when trying to merge

Answer 1

I think this should be possible over the VS GUI as follows:

Select the folder where the new file was added and order a merge (of the whole folder) to your secondary branch.
Now all changed files of the folder appear in your pending list + your new file.
Undo all other files & proceed with checking in only the one file that matters.

One could argue that this restriction of TFS in fact makes sense:

• If you 've made additional changes to the files you 're hereby protected from breaking your secondary branch.
• If you haven't made additional changes to any other files, it still makes sense to merge your, since the merge will only contain your new file.
