All branches are also imported into this flat list. This means that the order of the generated changesets contain main-revisions and branches in the same level. If you do a \u201ccompare with previous\u201d version it might happen, that it will compare a main-revision with a revision from a branch, because the previous version was a branched version! It might also happen, that the last version is not from the main branch, there a special label called \u201c__PvcsImportLatest__\u201d is added, so you can make \u201creal\u201d TFS branches from labels. This is also the recommended way to deal with branches after migrating from PVCS to TFS: Create a \u201creal\u201d TFS-branch from a PVCS label!\n<\/ul>\n<li>How is the &#8220;common changeset detection&#8221; really working?
