## Examples

### Simple

To clone the latest changeset in `$/Project1` from your TFS 2010 server `tfs`
into a new directory `Project1`, do this:

    git tfs quick-clone http://tfs:8080/tfs/DefaultCollection $/Project1

### Excludes

Let's say you want to clone `$/Project`, but you don't want to
clone exes.

    git tfs quick-clone --ignore-regex=exe$ http://tfs:8080/tfs/DefaultCollection $/Project1
