title: Branching and merging SSIS/SSAS Projects
body: <p>I have a data warehousing solution formed of a series of databases, SSIS packages and an SSAS database. The SSIS packages and SSAS database all sit within source control using Team Foundation Server.</p>
  
  <p>What I'd like to be able to do is branch the SSAS and SSIS projects to enable us to work on multiple streams of work and then be able to merge the projects back in prior to release to a production environment.</p>
  
  <p>TFS allows me to branch my projects with little effort, however merging them back together afterwards results in trawling through pages and pages are difficult to consume XML.</p>
  
  <p>How are other people dealing with this situation? Are there any tools available on the market to deal with exactly these situations? </p>
