Been trying all I can think of for days to get this to work. Baseless merges, reparenting, branching and then reparenting.
I would like to reparent a branch to be the child of one of it's children and break the relationship between that branch and its parent.
In the image below, I would like to move Cassidy-Main and Bohem-Main to be a child of Cassidy-QA and Bohem-QA respectively. Then reparent Cassidy-QA and Bohem-QA to be children of Acme-QA.
Thanks in advance for any help/advice/solutions!
Once you have completed a baseless merge between where it was and where you want tit to be you will be able to reparent.
There is however no way to remove the old relationship.
I have create a simple example for your reference:
The original branch hierarchy
When you want to reparent Main-branch3.0-child2 to Main-branch2.0, you will get below screenshoot:
To point to another parent, you need to perform a baseless merge. Do a baseless merge of the new parent to the target branch in cmd.
tf merge /recursive /baseless "$/MyFirstProject/Main-branch3.0-child2" "$/MyFirstProject/Main-branch2.0"
After this, it will shows the current parent and the new parent. Select the new parent and press “Reparent”.
Update
Finally, I got what your described as below：
Update 2
To perform the baseless merge, first you need a right workspace mapping. And run the tf command in the local workspace:
For example:
After that check in the changes in pending change page.
