问题
I'm using Team Foundation Server 2008 (SP 1) and I need to move multiple files from one folder to another (to retain file history). In addition to Team Explorer (with SP 1) I've also got the latest TFS Power Tools (October 2008) installed (for Windows Shell integration).
Now, the problem is that I can't seem to select and move multiple files via either the shell or the Source Control Explorer window. I can move individual files (by right clicking + "Move") and I can move whole folders (same operation) but when I select multiple files (in a folder) the "Move" context item is grayed/disabled.
Does anyone know if this is possible.. and if not.. why not!?
Can anyone suggest a workaround which isn't overly complicated?

Use the tf.exe tool from the Visual studio commandline - it can handle wildcards:
tf.exe move <olditem> <newitem>
Example:
tf.exe move "$/My Project/V*" "$/My Project/Archive"
[EDIT] As noted in the comments: move is an alias for rename. Both commands move history.
回答2:
Use rename instead of move
tf.exe rename "$/PROJECT/SharedLibs/Log4Net/*.*" "$/PROJECT/SharedLibs/3rdParty/"
tf.exe rename "$/PROJECT/SharedLibs/ZipLib/*.*" "$/PROJECT/SharedLibs/3rdParty/"
Check it out the help documentation: TFS Command Line Reference

Holan Jan has written a Visual Studio Extension which provides 'move' for multiple files within source control explorer (i.e. using a GUI) Works a treat, also has support for recent versions.

Under the hood it does use the same commands mentioned above but it's just a bit friendlier to use. Each of the versions listed require RTM version of Visual Studio.

Stick all the files that you wish to move, under a folder and then move that folder.
