TFS has a “Reconcile” command for this:

  1. Open the Source Control Explorer
  2. Right-click on the folder with the changes and choose Compare
  3. Select the files you want to reconcile (press CTRL+A to select all files)
  4. Click on the Reconcile button
  5. Set the options in the Reconcile Folder Differences dialog. Make sure Files that do not have pending changes is set to Check Out
  6. Click OK
  7. If you have local changes the Check Out dialog will be shown. Set the preferred Lock type
  8. Click Check Out
