8138 — Switch to another Branch/Tag may only partially switch a Project

You might encounter the following issue when changing the branch of an iTest project.

1. Check out a Project; for example, trunk.

2. Modify one of the files that is not in the target branch you'll attempt to switch to.

3. Switch to another branch, for example v3.1, by right clicking the Project and selecting Team/Switch to another Branch/Tag...

You'll see an error about being unable to delete a file that has local modifications and the switch to the new branch will halt. Note that the Project got switched to the new branch but the files/Folder contained in the Project did not (or maybe in some cases some of them do).

Known Eclipse issue:  https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=121433 :  switching to a new branch might leave the workspace in an inconsistent state if any errors are encountered.
