I need to use our TFS repository to trigger a build if a change was checked in, but NOT to get the latest from TFS.  
  
Is there a way to do this?

Thinking the right approach is to comment out this line in the Workspace rules:   
  
 $Source$ \> Source

Hi,  
  
Commenting out “$Source$ \> Source” from the Repository Rules will prevent the repository files from being copied to the agent at the start of the build stage.&nbsp;  
  
Note that the files will still be checked out to the repository cache on the server when the repository is polled and a new changeset is detected. There is currently no way to stop the files being checked out on the server.&nbsp;  
  
We could however add this as an option in the future - what scenario do you need this for?

Thanks, modifying the Repository Rules did what I needed.   
  
 The check out on the server is not a problem.   
  
 Our scenario is that we are using Continua to wrap a FinalBuild script that can also be manually run by devs. The script already does checkouts, gets, checkins, etc… So it would be redundant to have Continua duplicate that work.
