Summary
This chapter explained what TFS is and where its place is in the Microsoft product gamma. First, we compared TFVC and Git in terms of their architecture, as well as the way they handle branching and merging. We also took a look at how they treat history and the traceability of changes.
From there, we learned that there are different ways to migrate from TFS to Git. For one, you can export from the server itself. There's also a tool that you can use to create a mirror between a TFS and a Git repository that's called git-tfs. The most logical reason for this tool to exist is because, nowadays, Git relies heavily on Git repositories and needs to convert TFVC projects into Git format internally.
