Moving TFS projects between TFS Collections with labels & history using TFS 2015

Question

I have a requirement of moving Team projects between two team project collections in TFS 2015. Also need the History & Label to be moved to the new collection.

I am aware there is no direct way of moving the project between collection along with history & label.

Can someone suggest a better way to handle it?

Thanks in Advance,
Dinesh

There is already a UserVoice for this request, and this feature is under plan:

We are committed to allow you to move team projects between collections, although it’s currently not in scope for the 2016 calendar year. We’ll provide an updated timeline as we get closer to 2017.

An alternative, you can try with 3rd tools to move team projects, such as TFS Integration Tools, OpsHub. Please read the limitations before using the tools.
