Orphan a branch in TFS

Suppose I create an experimental branch in TFS. Now, I am finished with the branch, and I want to keep it around, but it has diverged sufficiently from the source branch that I want to make sure that no one can merge it back on accident. Is there a command in TFS to sever a branch, so that there is no merge path back?

As far as I know, you can set permissions on a branch.

I'm not sure if this will prevent a merge but in TFS 2010 you can turn a branch in to a folder

Check out Buck Hodges blog on the subject
