1 I'd like to announce version 0.5.0 of Team Foundation for Mono,
2 a development update with support for read-write local trees,
3 several new commands, vastly improved builtin help, and many bugfixes.
5 If you're not familiar with Microsoft's Team Foundation / Team System product,
6 checkout the section "What is Team Foundation / Team System?" below.
10 ===================================================================
12 # NEW: add "tf shelvesets" command (brief output only)
13 # NEW: add support for writable working folders. For more information see:
14 http://ropeonfire.blogspot.com/2007/07/read-write-local-trees-in-tfs.html
15 # NEW: implement tf help <cmd> with display of valid options for each command.
16 # NEW: add "tf branches" command (limited testing)
17 # NEW: add tf online <list of files>. Faster version of tf online, useful
18 after you've applied a patch. Then just say "tf online `lsdiff my.patch`"
19 # NEW: add tf diff /brief option
20 # NEW: support for tf add /recursive <path>
21 # NEW: 20 new test cases for tf client program
22 # NEW: add "tf help /list" helper for shell completion

30 ===================================================================
31 # BUGFIX: don't try to upload new directories on checkin, only files
32 # BUGFIX: Command.VerifiedFullPaths should accept directories too
33 # BUGFIX: shell wrapper tf should quote $@ so /C:"This is my comment" will work
34 # BUGFIX: uninstall man page and pkg-config file too
35 # BUGFIX: fix /format:detailed output for added files in history cmd
36 # BUGFIX: tf delete <folder> should actually delete the folder
37 # BUGFIX: honor excludeFiles setting in tf ls-files /writable
40 What is Team Foundation / Team System?
41 ===================================================================
42 Team Foundation is a 'collection of collaborative technologies that
43 support a team effort to deliver a product' from Microsoft that
44 includes bug tracking, source control, and other capabilities.'
46 Team Foundation powers Microsoft's CodePlex site and is used in many
47 corporate environments.
49 Team Foundation for Mono provides the TF client for accessing
50 Team Foundation Servers as well as the Microsoft.TeamFoundation.*
51 assemblies related to Version Control.
53 An example of accessing CodePlex to pull the latest version of
54 the "Turtle" project is below.
56 Other example invocations can be found here:
57 http://tf4mono.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/docs/examples/
60 CodePlex Example Usage
61 ===================================================================
62 In the commands below,
63 UID = your codeplex user name
64 PWD = your codeplex password
65 MACHINENAME = your machine name (or any other random name)
67 First create a workspace:
69 tf /server:https://tfs01.codeplex.com /login:snd\\UID,PWD
70 workspace /new "MACHINENAME;UID"
72 Then map "Turtle" project to a local folder:
74 tf /server:https://tfs01.codeplex.com /login:snd\\UID,PWD
75 workfold "$/Turtle" ~/Source/turtle
79 tf /server:https://tfs01.codeplex.com /login:snd\\UID,PWD get
80 ~/Source/turtle /recursive
82 Then you could review the history, review a changeset, then look
83 at the diff of the changeset. Note: the examples below assume
84 the tf client "Credentials.Save" option was enabled.
87 tf history /recursive .
93 ===================================================================
94 Debian packages and source tarball available here:

97 Additionally, a git clone of the source tree can be made with:
99 git clone git://repo.or.cz/tfs.git
