I have my source control data on a separate partition.
When I rebuilt my machine I pointed my work space to the old location.
Then I did a get latest and was confronted by a lot of merge conflicts that couldn't be resolved by auto merge (A non version controlled file or writable file by the same name already exists locally).
While I can resolve each conflict there are a lot of them.
Can I bulk resolve these conflicts?
Firstly, this is a pain don't do this.
Shelve all your change-sets so you can wipe the mapped folders and start again.
To bulk resolve just select all and click the resolution.
It is my opinion that the UI does not make it clear you are resolving all item.

I did not find much success in understanding what this means in other SO questions.
this is for a ruby on rails project. it's probably really straightforward if you know what to do. I tried merging two branches and this was (part) of the result.
CONFLICT (rename/delete): db/migrate/20160705073411_create_building_employees.rb deleted in HEAD and renamed in user-authentication. Version user-authentication of db/migrate/20160705073411_create_building_employees.rb left in tree.
Removing app/models/buildings_user.rb
Automatic merge failed; fix conflicts and then commit the result.
There were a tonne of files which were marked as "modified"
there was one 'unmerged' path. Namely:
added by them: db/migrate/20160705073411_create_building_employees.rb
when I opened up the file i saw nothing to really resolve. there were no asterix running across the page.
What does the above mean?
How do I resolve the issue?
Any advice would be much appreciated.
The error "Conflict (rename/delete)" means that a file was renamed in one branch and deleted in another(create_building_employees.rb deleted in HEAD). This type of conflict is not with the content of the files themselves- but with the directory/tree of the branches. You should use Git Mergetools to do a diff between the branches and then make whatever modifications needed
Here is a great thread on resolving conflicts How to resolve merge conflicts in Git?
And see the blogpost: http://weblog.masukomi.org/2008/07/12/handling-and-avoiding-conflicts-in-git/
This conflict message means that some files were deleted in one branch and renamed in the other. You need to decide for each one if you want to remove the file or to keep it (with the new name).
A merge has been completed in a local workspace. I'm interested to see which files were manually merged (ie which ones initially came up in the resolve conflicts window).
Is there any way to find this out now that all conflicts have been resolved?
Shelve the merge and undo local changes. Then merge again and record the list of conflicts that cannot be automatically resolved.
This is the slow and painful answer. I sincerely hope there is a better way so I can delete this and not have to sit through a tonne of progress bars.
On Commit found many conflicts in files after taking latest, so I remove mapping thinking remap somewhere else and paste my old local changes in latest version of TFS but remove mapping remove all files with my latest changes.
I have remapping my code somewhere but please help me that how I can find my old changes
I haven't resolved for conflict, but just remove mapping and bind again for somewhere else,
but after remapping binding again to my original first path no loss I found there,
all checked out files were remain same...

Got the below in TFS and VS 2012 RC, anyone know of a fix? Doesn't seem to exist on MS website.
TF400018: The local version table for the local workspace
COMPUTERNAME;MYNAME could not be opened. The process cannot access the
file because it is being used by another process
Any suggestions welcomed.
We experienced this one as well. Migrating to the RTM makes this happen a lot less, but it can still happen a lot.
When using local workspaces (a new feaure in vs 2012) a local file based database is created to administer changes you make localy. When you change a source file, this file base database needs to be updated. If this update conflicts with the normal update task which routinely checks for changes you get this error. The cause of this issue is usually that you are using local workspace for more items than it was intended or that your disk I/O is too slow.
Workarounds for this are either:
Replace your disk with an ssd. Having better I/O makes this issue
happen a lot less.
Switch back to server based workspaces. (which handles this better)
Use the TFS-GIT connector and use git for offline support.
Split your workspace mapping in portions so they contain less items.
Please delete the files under %Temp% folder and open the project as
"Run as Administrator " mode .It works for me .

Yes this is one of the Doh! Damn! I shot myself in the foot. I don't have a lot of experience with TFS in large teams, but I'm facing this issue.
During a transition to new equipment, a developer forgot to check-in some code. Work proceeded on the new laptop for several weeks before noticing that the previous work was not checked in. Mutliple check-in have occured.
I have recovered the files from the old laptop, and have them on my current laptop. What is the best way to merge in these changes? Do I create a branch, merge in these changes, and then rejoin the branch?
Is there a "cookbook" out there that details what should happen when faced with various situations?
We are using TFS 2010.
Thanks in advance...
Creating a branch here is probably a little bit heavier-weight than what you need for this one-off situation. If it were me, I would do this:
Set up a workspace on your computer with the appropriate mappings.
Do a Get Specific Version to the version that the other computer was at. The best case scenario is if the user never deleted their workspace on the server. Then you can simply specify their workspace as the version and you'll get the files as they existed on the laptop. (You can specify this as Wworkspacename;owner name.) If the user deleted their workspace, you can get based on the changeset number they were at, or based on the date they were working at.
Copy the recovered files on top of the new TFS workspace.
Run tfpt online from the Team Foundation Server Power Tools. This will examine the local filesystem against the server and determine what changes were made. You may wish to examine the options, notably the /diff flags (which performs MD5s on the file instead of simply examining the readonly bit), and the /deletes and /adds flags, which detect deleted and add files, respectively.
Do a Get Latest on your workspace, resolve any conflicts, and check in.
You can follow this sequence to try out:
Make a merge-branch of your code version based on the time-stamp of where your restored laptop code has left the version control system.
Get your branched code to a location on disk.
Perform a check-out for edit of the entire workspace.
Copy the old restored code over the files in this workspace.
Perform a checkin of the local code into the branch.
Merge your latest code (main trunk) into the branch, merging changes, solving conflicts.
If all build and tests out correctly on the merge branch, merge that branch back into the main.
That should do the job.
