Provide workaround for several merge features not implemented by TFS 2010/2012:
TFS merge leads to bulk check-in operation that puts files from all previous changesets into one big merge changeset.
TFS allows only for consecutive changesets being cherry-peeked by merge operation.
TFS doesn’t allow choosing changesets for cherry-peek merge by selecting work items.
TFS merge dialog doesn’t have “force” and “baseless” options.
