Branching issue with TFS
-
I am trying to use the TFS provider to perform a branch and am getting this error Unable to cast transparent proxy to type 'Inedo.BuildMaster.E
xtensibility.Providers.SourceControl.IBranchingProvider'.Using V2.8.1.0 of the TFS provider on the latest build of build master.
Any ideas?

Some providers, including the TFS provider, do not include the branching functionality. Generally, our branching actions are only implemented for providers that don't allow labeling (such as SVN which only allows tagging).
One way to branch is to use the "Execute Command Line Action" against tf.exe command line utility to perform the branch with the appropriate arguments (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/d73s8b27.aspx).
Since our providers are extensible, we could always add this functionality to the provider. We prioritize features like this based on usage, so if you could send your use case to support at inedo dot com we'd be glad to help further!
