How to prevent Merging in TFS

I have a parent project that is branched to many dependent child projects. I do not want to allow changes in the child projects to be merged back into the parent. i.e. I only want to allow a 1 way merge (parent to child).

How do I accomplish this?

If you can't set security permissions as William Bartholomew suggests - another approach would be to write a custom check-in policy. The problem with this is that it CAN be overriden (but you could receive notifications when that occurs)

Easiest way is to only grant read permissions to the parent branch. To merge you need to check-out/in so without these permissions it's not possible to merge from child to parent. They will still be able to merge from parent to child though.
