I've been feeling bad about leaving my blog untended for a while.  Finally this morning I went and looked and realized it's been over a month since my last post and I haven't written many all summer.

It’s been about 6 months since I last posted detailed statistics on the DevDiv TFS dogfood server.  Overall it’s been a good 6 months.  Early this year we got the bulk of our TFS 2010 branching/merging/scaling changes deployed to the server and they’ve made a a big difference in the scalability challenges we were having last fall.  T...
