TFS Integration Tools – What is the difference between cloaking and scoping branches?

This post details the difference between 'cloaking' and 'merge scope' in the context of migrating version control data using TFS Integration Tools. It explains how 'merge scope' preserves branch and merge operations within a specified path, converting branch/merge actions outside that scope to simple add/edit operations. 'Cloaking', on the other hand, filters out specific branches but may lead to migration conflicts as branch/merge actions are not automatically converted. The post provides a summary table comparing the requirements met by each approach.
