I also started getting the same error this week. Maybe there's something wrong with VS Update 3?
Simply could not work on any of the projects of the "broken" local workspace anymore.

Other local workspaces were working fine.

I tried removing a project from the workspace, but when trying to confirm it, I would receive the same TF400030 error again.

If nothing else works, you might want to try this: simply delete the whole workspace and create it again, this time separating projects into different workspaces. This worked for me.

You'll probably want to back up your files first.
