Anyone have some good pointers on how to get multiple teams doing concurrent asp.net development using Microsoft TFS? i have been using subversion for the past many years now and it allowed my team to work freely without exclusively locking files and doing auto merges when possible (like 99% of the time) but this all falls apart when m...
