We are moving from ClearCase to TFS2008. I easily found the MS migration tool but it seems to be targeted to TFS 2005. Any suggestions on other tools that could accomplish this?

A:
When you will use this migration tool, keep in mind:
- TFS early branching and ClearCase just-in-time branching are different, meaning you need a config spec (on the ClearCase side) reflecting files for a given branch (even if all files have not technically any version created on that branch). A good way to to that is to ensure the presence of a label (or better a baseline) on a coherent set of files (you want to import), label put a the imported branch.
- you should not seek to import all ClearCase versions of all files, but rather only the labeled one, provided you can determine that label has been put on all the files of a given set. This is easier with UCM, since a baseline is by definition a label put on all the files of a component.
So if that ClearCase to TFS2008 migration script does take labels/baselines and is able to determine to what branch/stream they are associated with, you are on the right path.
