The problem was that repeated uses of the shelve command failed. This was happening because the first invocation would leave all of the files in the working directory. Subsequent invocations would make TFS try to store files there, fail, and think that it didn't have local copies of anything, so it wouldn't check the files out. The problem was fixed by telling TFS that it really should get the latest source files. I also updated the readme and some other things to indicate that the shelve command works now.

git-tfs is a two-way bridge between TFS and git, similar to git-svn.
|
|
|
|
To use, you need to get the source, build it, and then fetch from TFS to
|
|
git.
|
|
|
|
git-tfs was developed using .NET 3.5 and VS 2008. It uses the TFS 2008
|
|
client libraries. All other dependencies are stored in the repository.
|
|
From the root directory of the repository, you should be able to run this:
|
|
> msbuild GitTfs.sln
|
|
|
|
To fetch, you can do this:
|
|
# git init (optional)
|
|
# git tfs init http://tfs:8080 $/some_project
|
|
# git tfs fetch
|
|
|
|
If you do "git tfs clone" instead of "git tfs init", you won't need to do
|
|
the initial fetch.
|
|
|
|
The shelve command replicates your changes in a shelveset in TFS. By default,
|
|
it will shelve the current HEAD.
|
|
# git tfs shelve SOME_SHELVESET
|
|
# git tfs shelve SOME_SHELVESET some-treeish
|
|
|
|
Help is available on the command line. Use "-h" with any command to see a
|
|
description of the relevant options.
|
|
|
|
I've only tried it out with the TFS 2008 client libraries. I intend to
|
|
make this work transparently with TFS 2005 or the codeplex client libs at
|
|
some point.
