How to merge source code from Vault to TFS 2008

Question

I am looking into merging our source control provider and bug tracking software to Team Foundation Server 2008. We currently have SourceGear Vault as our source control provider and OnTime for our bug tracking software. Both currently meet our needs however as we are growing it seems that TFS is a more likely candidate for our company. It would have been nice if Microsoft had developed a merge tool so that we could get all of our source code into this new system including all the history.

As of now I can get all of our bug tracking items into the system through a csv import and I can also get the latest version of the source code into the system.

Is there an easy way or a toolkit that can be used in merging all of our source code with history from SourceGear Vault to TFS 2008?

Answer 1

Have a look at the TFS Migration and Syncronization toolkit. This is an open source project developed by Microsoft for people doing this type of thing. That said I usually recommend keeping the old system around for the history rather than importing as people usually have a better experience that way rather than going through the pain of import.
