title: TFS SourceControl Branching Merge From Trunk
body: <p>I'm having trouble with branching in Visual Studio TFS.  This may be due to the method in which I am developing, but if this is the case, please let me know what the best practice is with branching and I will change our procedure.</p>
  
  <p>About a month ago, I branched a project so that I could begin developing a new version of the web application, but didn't want the main trunk of the application to be affected by my changes as I tested and tried to get things to a production level status.</p>
  
  <p>So as of a couple days ago, we became aware of a few bugs with the current version of the application that is running in production.  I fixed these bugs on the main branch, redeployed the web application, and checked in the bug fixes to the main application trunk.  And here is where the problem lies.  Now the main trunk has the bug fixes, but my new version branch does not. </p>
  
  <p>Here is my question: How do I go about doing a version compare or something of the sort to get the bug fixes into the branched project?</p>
  
  <p>I may be doing things un-ordinarilly.  This is due to my lack of knowledge of branching and development life cycles.  Please let me know if there is a better method that you all practice in your development shops.</p>
  
  <p>Cheers,</p>
