Unshelve to a different branch using Visual Studio Online

Is it possible to unshelve to a different branch using the new Visual Studio Online TFS repository? I've tried using TFS Power Tools 2015 and the following command:

tfpt unshelve /migrate /source:"$/Sportlabs.Sportbench/Development/Sportlabs.Sportbench" /target:"$/Sportlabs.Sportbench/Development6/Sportlabs.Sportbench" "SR-Coaching"

I ran this from C:\Code\TFS\Sportlabs.Sportbench, which is mapped to $/Sportlabs.Sportbench in my local workspace. I've tried using both the Visual Studio 2015 and 2017 Developer command prompts. However, I keep getting the unable to determine the workspace error.

I've read that MS have abandoned power tools in TFS 2017 and built most of them in to TFS. If that's also the case for VS Online, how do I go about unshelving into a different branch?

To identify the current Workspace, tfpt seems to use the Method:

Microsoft.TeamFoundation.VersionControl.Client.Workstation.Current.GetLocalWorkspaceInfo(workspacePath)

I've jsut tried with TFS 2015 API and the call returns no result againt a Workspace of a VSTS project. I've also try with the TFS 2017 API and it works.

I don't think it will ever be possible to use TFPT 2015 againt a VSTS project to do TFVC operations.
