Back on July 13, I wrote about the dates of changeset "milestones" in our dogfood system. Today we hit changeset 10,000. The time between 9000 and 10000 was longer than usual because of check-in restrictions in place leading up to beta 3 (bug fixes had to be individually reviewed and approved in ask mode).Here's the full list. ...
There have been a lot of requests from folks wanting to use TFS without Active Directory. Since several questions and answers in comments on Jeff Beehler's blog dealt with this, I thought it's worth mentioning in a post that TFS beta 3 supports workgroup installations, and Active Directory is not required in that configuration.[Update 09...
Doug Neumann, one of our esteemed Program Managers, is in a short video on Channel 9 talking about our office, version control, the proxy, etc. He and Mario, our other version control PM, are at PDC this week.Doug Neumann - Source Code control guy on VSTS team
TFS Version Control will automatically detect a file's encoding based upon the following. The only exception to the foregoing is PDF files. Those are always detected as binary because they are so common and can be all text in the first 1 kilobyte with binary streams later in the file. The detection is based on the signature, "%PDF-",...
[Update 3/16/2006] I have decided to remove this version to reduce confusion. Please see http://blogs.msdn.com/buckh/archive/2006/03/15/552288.aspx for the RTM v1 example.
I've learned two shortcuts recently that I didn't know existed in TFS source control integration in VS. These may or may not work based on the build you are using. Double clicking the Source Control node in the Team Explorer will bring up the Source Control Explorer window. What I learned recently is that holding the shift key and doub...
Beta 3 for Team Foundation will be released in September along with Visual Studio 2005 Release Candidate 1. One of the most significant points with beta 3 is that it will have a go-live license that includes data migration to RTM. The details are in Soma's blog post for today: Visual Studio 2005 update.Here's a copy of the part that's T...
I've seen this question come up a few times. Doug Neumann, our PM, wrote a nice explanation in the Team Foundation forum (http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=70231). It turns out that this is by design, so let me explain the reasoning behind it. When you perform a get operation to populate your workspace with a set of ...
John Lawrence posted the latest set of dogfood system statistics. The deltas are from May I think, since it says checkins are up 4,500. The June/early-July statistics are here. One thing to note is that we now have more than 600,000 files and folders in the system. Hopefully, we'll hit 1 million in the not too distant future...
The dogfood system is now based on the July CTP (it's nearly the same). Surprisingly, we had to fix the NIC setting on the production dogfood server. This time we knew where to look when we saw terrible data transfer rates from the server. Rather than being explicitly set to half duplex, it was set to auto. However, it fell ...
