Can I do merges with the TFS offline?

We are having a problem with the TFS connection. Is there any way to do merges between branchs with the TFS do开发者_如何学Cwn?

I don't think so since TFS merges items by comparing the items from the source/target branch which at least one would be on the server.

It would make no sense to do so. If your TFS is offline, you cannot know whether you would merge the newest source code state. This would be highly insecure since it leads to code missmatch.

If you want to merge some code offline, do it manually with tools like WinMerge and update it to your TFS when its online again ;)
