The reason for my blog post is two fold …

  1. One to remind everyone of the above and remind everyone that we will be releasing the public SDK and the documentation as part of the VSTS Rangers – TFS2TFS Project Copy project. See VSTS Rangers Projects – summary of projects covered on this blog for a list of relevant links for the project.
  2. Two, to highlight the fact that we can use a number of version control clients to access the code on Codeplex.
    Using Team Explorer you have to get access to the relevant project, but receive the known Visual Studio Team Explorer sandbox, which includes the work items, source control explorer and the history, which obviously matches the list above.

You could, unlike what I did, read the instructions documented on the actual project source code page … with the exact details for each version control client =:-| … and avoid the “gnnnnffffffffffffffffff” moment.
