Visual Studio TFS shows unchanged files in the list of pending changes

Question

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 fi

Answer 1

Visual Studio 2012 introduced a new concept called Local Workspace.

When the Workspace Location is configured to be Local, then it will place a local copy of the original file (Just like SVN / CVS).

It will then automatically hide unchanged files from pending changes.

Use the TFS Source Control Explorer to "Edit..." the TFS Workspace, and change the "Advanced..."-setting Location from Server to Local.
