Can a branch be made from a previous changeset?

Question

I need to create a branch at a specific Changeset in TFS. Is this doable?

For example, I have changeset 1528 that was the last check in on my project. But I want to branch from changeset 1487. Can this be done?

If so, how?

Note: I am using TFS 2008

Answer 1

Yes. When a branch is created you can choose the point in time when it takes effect (date, changeset, etc).

See here. Specifically, the first image (of the branch dialog) illustrates the choices.

Or here for more explicit instructions on getting this dialog up to create a branch.
