+For those who aren't very familiar with TFS, you may come across a TFS repository whose directories are just Folders, not branches.

+In this case, the command `git tfs list-remote-branches tfs-url` will return the result `No TFS branches were found!`.  Similarly, `git tfs clone` will not work.
+
+To fix this, open Source Control Explorer.  Right click on your source folder and select Branching and Merging > Convert to branch.
