Using Team Foundation Power Tools , and the option of not creating a folder for source code linked to Team Project, an option that has never been available in the wizard, gives you the option of creating a Branch. Here's how to view information about the command:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Team Foundation Server 2013 Power Tools>tfpt createteamproject /?
Among the various options we have / sourcecontrol, and this parameter can create a new folder and give a name, or not create a folder, to a non-software project; or Branchpath ...
/sourcecontrol Specifies source control options: 'New' to create a new source control

'Branch:branchpath' to branch from an existing path on the TFS server.
