The main scenario here is deleting a FILE (by mistake or intentionally) outside of Team Foundation and then trying the get that file back from source control. If the file version has not changed the server THINKS the user ALREADY has the file and does not copy it over. This is because the server keeps a list of files that the user already has and when activities are made outside of source control this list becomes out of date. Team Foundation Version Control does have a force get option which will provide the functionality needed to obtain the DESIRED version but it is currently partially hidden under the Get Specific Version Dialog window as a CHECK box item.
