I found that the shelve/unshelve commands in TFS are very handy and very simple to use. What's the equivalent in Git ? here's the scenario in TFS : I made changes in the trunk I shelve : the change set is saved on the server (with a label) and I get the source back before the changes I work in the trunk Someone can unshelve : get the ...
I recently joined a project team that is using TFS (I have happily avoided TFS until now). I am trying to determine if there is a way to require a story/defect reference to be associated with every commit comment? With Tortoise/SVN it was easy to add a requirement for a reference number to be required with each commit. Personally, I li...

I've just tried out TFS 2010 today, along with Project 2010 and VS 2010. Only Later realized that without Sharepoint, TFS is only configured as Basic. This reduces it's functionality as oppose to what I've seen during VS2010 product launch. Sadly I can't find any alternative but to get a trial copy of Sharepoint to see if it serve my pur...

We have a "Main" branch and a "Dev" branch in source control; pretty common approach where developers work off of the Dev branch and merge changes to Main at set periods when the code has been unit tested and is ready for customer testing. We link Work Items like PBI's (Scrum) and require comments on checkins. Normally the TFS build rep...
Our TFSVersionControl database has grown significantly in the past couple years, and is edging on 80GB. Unfortunately, we're in an environment where every gig of data storage is internally charged at a high rate, so there's lots of focus on keeping storage growth to a minimum. I believe the majority of growth is happening because we ch...
Currently I can not quickly filter the result of a work-item query - running a query will give us a result table and within this table, there's no mean to filter the table rows to display just the ones containing some certain text. Do you know how to filter that or have any addons/tools suggestion for that? Thank you. Nam. ...

I am using TFS Build to build my .net project. The TFS build produces an output file that lists all the errors and warnings that were generated. Is there a way (without implmenting a custom logger) to format the data that is output to this file (e.g. include full file path)? Thanks. ...
If I add a new file to a project under TFS source control, it will check out the project file and the corresponding .vspscc file for that project file. The project file itself changes (to include the new file), but the .vspscc file doesn't change at all. Why bother checking it out? Is there a way to disable it from being checked out and ...
