How to use this
bootstrap is useful if you create a TFS clone and share it with a colleague who then needs to interact with TFS. While two identical invocations of git tfs clone will produce identical repositories, git clone is always going to be faster than git tfs clone. So, I would guess that most people who want to collaborate on a TFS project using git will benefit from this command.
[user 1] git tfs clone http://blah/blah/blah $/blah
[user 1] cd blah
[user 1] git remote add shared git@someplace:shared/repo.git
[user 1] git push shared master
[user 2] git clone git@someplace:shared/repo.git
[user 2] cd repo
[user 2] git tfs bootstrap
At this point, user2 will be able to use all the normal git-tfs commands.
