Merging all changesets associated with a WorkItem in Team Foundation Server

We're trailing the use of the built in bug tracking, and have written some integration into our helpdesk software that allows for escalation via workitems.

One thing I haven't found out how to do, is to merge all changes associated with a work item (say to go from dev branch to main) - I appreciate you can double click on a changeset in the merge dialog to view if it is associated with a workitem, and also that I can select individual changesets, and groups of adjacent changesets; but there doesn't appear to be any way to merge changes by 开发者_JS百科workitem?

It is correct that you can't merge based on work items. It is probably not a good idea to do that anyway. It would be very difficult to make sure you get all the necessary changes needed for the main branch to build correctly. I would look into how you do your branching and a good starting point would be: Microsoft Team Foundation Server Branching Guidance

In TFS 2005 and 2008 the check in history will not be transferred between branches. You will get this in TFS 2010.
