title: Can I add a new folder to a TFS repository server-side without using a local working copy?
body: <p>I'm currently transfering some source code from a Subversion (SVN) repository to my client's Team Foundation Server. One of the things I stumbled upon is that there seems to be no way to edit the repository without first pulling all files in that repository to a local working folder in the local workspace. I'm using Visual Studio 2008 Team Explorer.</p>
  
  <p>My repository resembles this structure:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$
  $/branches
  $/trunk
  $/trunk/Solution1
  $/trunk/Solution1/... etc.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now what I want to do is add a new folder in the root of the trunk (i.e. $/trunk/Docs). Because the Solution1 folder tree ($/trunk/Solution1) contains a lot of data, I don't want to first get a local copy of that folder. I want to create the new "Docs" folder server-side. However, I noticed the "New Folder" button on the Source Control Explorer toolbar is grayed out when the selected repository folder isn't available as a working folder in the local workspace.</p>
  
  <p>Using SVN this never was a problem, because using TortoiseSVN I can create a new folder server-side using the Repo-Browser. SVN doesn't require you to check out its parent folder first.</p>
  
  <p>Does anybody know how to server-side edit a TFS repository? Did I miss some trivial thing?</p>
