Moving a shelveset

[bmaw]

I am wondering if there is a way to move a shelveset to a branch?

I have a set of changes that I am working on that made me decide that I should create a new branch. I would like to shelve those changes, create a new branch, and then copy or move that shelveset to the newly created branch. Is this possible? Any suggestions on the best way to go about doing this?

Shelvesets are tied to their original location.

You could move your changes with the following steps.

1. Unshelve the changes to the original location.

2. Check out the files in the branch location that correspond to the changed files in the shelve.

3. In Windows File Explorer, copy the changed files into the branch location.

4. The files in the branch location should now show up as edited, and you can check them in or continue working.

5. Perform an undo check out in the original location.

That was going to be my plan, but I figured I would check if there was an automated way to do it. Thanks.
