unable to check in after branch

for some reason i can not check in a file after it's been branched from the share. shared files or new files have no problem adding/checking in. i can checkout and undo checkout as well as get latest, but when i select check in, nothing happens, no dialogs, the file stays checked out to me. i get no message in the messages pane.

the Local Version and Remote Version are not in sync and the Status is unknown, even after get latest and checkout.

this happens in both the GUI client as well as with the VS Integration.

There is currently a bug in Vault where after you branch a share, the file is Unknown in the branch (Vault has lost track of which version it is at, and therefore doesn't know the status of the file).

A Get Latest with overwrite should correct the problem. However, if you've edited the file, you'll actually need to do a Get on the version of the file you started editing (which might not be the latest version of the file).
