TFS Loses History when Branching/Merging

Both Microsoft Team Foundation Server (TFS) 2005 and 2008 appear lose your check-in comments and history when files a branched and merged back. Luckily someone has written a free plugin for the client that gathers all the history for a file and displays it in Visual studio.

Another way to get the full history is to install the TFS Power Tools from Microsoft and then use the history command with the /followbranches option.

Have you tried Perforce?! No such problems there.
