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

Another WORKAROUND...

1. Check in the changes from existing shelveset (Changeset 1)
2. Merge the changes to the other branch and check in (Changeset 2)
3. Rollback the changes from Changeset 1.

This keeps changes from changeset 2 and rolls back the original branch.

This process may not work for every company and their policies but it does work. I don't like it but sometimes it is necessary.
