Consider the following scenario. You use Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team Foundation Server for source control. In a source control branch, you change a source code file. Then, you move the file to a newly created folder. After you check in the change set, you merge the source control branch to the original source code file. In this scenario, the changes that you made to the source control branch are not saved to the original source code file.

This issue only occurs if the changes are made in the same change set as the branch operation.

This issue occurs because of a bug in a Microsoft SQL Server stored procedure that is called when you perform a merge operation.
