To clone all of $/Project1 from your TFS 2010 server tfs
into a new directory Project1, do this:
git tfs clone http://tfs:8080/tfs/DefaultCollection $/Project1
Sometimes, it could be interesting to clone only a branch of a TFS repository (for exemple to extract only the trunk of your project and manage branches with init-branch. Then, do this (the clone will be done in the MyProject1Directory directory):
git tfs clone http://tfs:8080/tfs/DefaultCollection $/Project1/Trunk MyProject1Directory
Let's say you want to clone $/Project, but you don't want to
clone exes.
git tfs clone --ignore-regex=exe$ http://tfs:8080/tfs/DefaultCollection $/Project1
If the TFS server need an authentication, you could use the --username and --password parameters. If you don't specify theses informations, you will be prompted to enter them. If you use these parameters, the informations, git-tfs will store these informations (in the .git/config file --in clear--) and never prompt you again. If you don't want your password to be saved, don't use these options.
git tfs clone http://tfs:8080/tfs/DefaultCollection $/Project1 -u=DISSRVTFS03\peter.pan -p=wendy
With the parameter --authors, you could specify a file containing all the mapping of the TFS users to the git users. Each line describing a mapping following the syntax:
DISSRVTFS03\peter.pan = Peter Pan <peter.pan@disney.com>
The clone command will be :
git tfs clone http://tfs:8080/tfs/DefaultCollection $/Project1 --authors="c:\project_file\authors.txt"
