TFS Create Main and Development from Existing Team Project

We currently have a team project in TFS 2010 named MyApp that was added a few years ago. I would like to create MAIN and DEV branches as described in the ALM Rangers manual. I know it would be easier if the existing team project was created with branches originally, but that was in the past. I don't want to lose the version history in an existing project.

Is it possible to create these branches (or at least the DEV branch ) without affecting the existing project?

UPDATE . My folder structure looks something like this, bold folder, italics is a file):

  • Server \ DefaultCollection
    • MyApp
      • Lib
      • packages
      • Vaults
      • MVCClient
      • MyApp.sln

There's no great solution out there, but here's one option:

Create a MAIN folder. Copy all source code to this folder. Convert MAIN to branch. Branch of DEV from MAIN.



Keep your old source code (stuff not in the MAIN folder) for history purposes.
