FIX: When you check in changes in Visual Studio 2005 Team Foundation Server source control, some rows that do not contain deletion IDs may be inserted into the operation database

Consider the following scenario. You have a branch in Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team Foundation Server source control. You delete a folder in the branch folder structure. Then, you check in this change. In this scenario, some table rows that do not contain deletion IDs may be inserted into the Team Foundation Server operation database. However, deleted items should be marked by deletion IDs.

This problem occurs because of a bug in a Microsoft SQL Server stored procedure. This stored procedure is called when you perform the check-in operation.
