- selected (right-clicked) the branch that included all of my code, and selected "Remove Mapping..."
- renamed the folder I was mapped to within TFS (you can delete it as well, but I renamed just to keep it during this experimental process)
- created a new folder with the original name of the branch I was mapped to in the beginning, and
- selected (right-clicked) the branch that included all of my code, and selected "Map to Local Folder".
