John Lawrence has posted dogfood usage stats in the past. I took a look at the changeset "milestones" today. The rate of changesets being created has certainly increased as more users have been added to the system.To get the latest changeset, you can run h changeset /latest or h changeset /latest /i if you don't want the gui.&...
We're still ironing out a few more wrinkles in preparation for the dogfood upgrade, but I wanted to go let folks know that it's going to require two server machines to install. With beta 2 we had a setup that would allow you to install it all on a single machine, which was great for getting a system set up for evaluation. Unfortuna...
Have you ever wondered how many files are in your server? Or workspaces? Have you wanted to stop a request that was being processed? Using the administration web service and matching web page for TFS Source Control, you can do exactly that.For a beta 2 server, bring up http://localhost:8080/scc/application/admin.asmx in ...
A couple of months ago, Jeff Lucovsky wrote about filing watson reports for Team Foundation. When you log in as an administrator on the application tier for TFS, you may be greeted with a dialog asking if you would like to report errors to Microsoft. Likewise, if Visual Studio crashes, you may be asked to report the error to Micros...
Tonight I stumbled across Jeff Beehler's new blog. So far he's written about our effort to upgrade our dogfood system to new code (we've been using a system based on the beta 2 release), which we'll release as a mid-July CTP.
In this forum thread, http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=18817, a question was asked about using baseless merge with converted VSS shared folders.[UPDATE Aug. 22, 2006] The GUI will not show the relatives of baseless merges, only explicit branch relationships.[UPDATE Feb. 6, 2006] I'm happy to say that baseless merges...
It's a question that's come up a lot lately. The June CTP of SQL 2005 will not work as the SQL backend for the current public releases of Team Foundation. There have been changes in SQL 2005 that require changes in TFS for it to work.
The June CTP of VS 2005 includes Team Foundation Server. However, this is not the June CTP discussed in the Team Foundation MSDN forums and elsewhere. That CTP is now scheduled for July (it was the last week of June, so it didn't change much). So, anywhere you've see a reference to the June CTP for TFS in the forums, thi...
In the Team Foundation forum a question was asked regarding CVS compared to Team Foundation Version Control. Here's what I wrote. Of course, Team Foundation is much more than version control since we have integrated work item tracking, reporting, etc.I'm biased, of course, and I'm probably leaving stuff out. I've used CVS in the past, b...
We've had a lot of customer feedback on wanting integration in VS 2003, VB6, etc. The problem with the VS 2003 environment is that there can only be a single version of the CLR loaded into a process. VS 2003 loads 1.1. The TF source control integration requires that the 2.0 CLR be used. Thus, our VS integration code won't ru...
