How to copy of a project folder in SourceSafe while preserving history?

Question

How to make a copy of a project folder in Visual SourceSafe 8.0.5 while preserving the history of the files under that folder?

The solution was to share the project's root folder, and use Wildcard Search (View -> Search -> Wildcard Search) to view and select all project files, then branch the files (Versions -> Branch).
