What is the prescribed workflow in place of shelvesets in TFS?

kwilliams

As the title says, what is the prescribed (from RedGate) workflow or workaround (from the community) for shelvesets.

I'm currently adding a folder to TFS with my sql scripts that I ignore when ready to checkout the shelveset into my code base.

I'm not interested in a flame war, just looking for practical advice from real people

I would use branches instead.

I wrote a blog post a little while ago about a format for discussing branching/shelving strategies whilst attempting to avoid flame wars. You may or may not find it useful:
