Selecting TFS Branch At Build Time

Hello! For the fast few years I have been using git as source control. But I’m sure like most people who work with Microsoft technologies, I’ve had to use TFVC in hte past and (if you’re a little bit unfortunate) the present. One of the drawbacks of TFS is that branches become long lasting objects and all too often someone somewhere has made the well-meaning but misjudged attempt at using lots of branches as like boundaries to prevent bugs accessing code.
