title: TFS - Sync server to local manually
body: <p><strong>Task</strong>: A fresh fetch of TFS branch source takes 12+ hours to download due to latency on the VPN (everyone working from home). A in office local fetch takes 7 minutes to a SSD drive.
  If we manually ZIP the files via an office VM and upload to home, an unzip, this can happen in less than 30m. We use an on premise TFS 2019 server.</p>
  <p><strong>Problem</strong>: Visual Studio shows &quot;not downloaded&quot; and requires a fresh fetch. I want to be able to tell TFS manually that the server and local copy is in SYNC... I did some research and came up empty.
  I looked at the &quot;reconcile&quot; tf option but that just then wants to download the files.</p>
  <p>So does anyone know a magic way to keep Visual Studio happy to show
  Latest&quot; Yes ?</p>
