What object does the following icon represent in TFS and how does it differ from a standard folder you might create within a team project?

enter image description here

I hate asking such a question but I've read around and honestly can't work it out. I've checked in the directory on my disk I have the project mapped to and it's seemingly no different to a usual folder.

It means that it is a branch and not a regular Tfs folder. Branch folders were introduced in TFS 2010 and provide some additional functionality such as support for visualization. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/ms181425.aspx
