title: Using Git in a TFS shop
body: <p>Using Git at home has spoiled me - I now find using TFS at work to be a bit of a drag and want to explore the possibility of using Git locally and syncing somehow with TFS. I figure there are a few different ways this can be done and would like to hear from people that have attempted it.</p>
  
  <p>I've found a <a href="http://blog.zobie.com/2009/04/using-git-to-avoid-problems-with-tfs/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">blog post</a> that describes a relatively manual workflow, but I'm hoping for something with better automation, and history support. </p>
  
  <p>Jim Deville appears to be writing a <a href="http://blog.jredville.com/category/series/git-tfs/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">series</a> on how the IronRuby team keeps their github repository in sync with TFS but it is not yet complete and I must admit I had a little trouble following what Jim has written so far.</p>
  
  <p>I briefly attempted to use a combination of <a href="http://svnbridge.codeplex.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">SvnBridge</a> and <a href="http://git-scm.com/docs/git-svn" rel="nofollow noreferrer">git-svn</a> but I got stuck on an error quite quickly (perhaps <a href="http://svnbridge.codeplex.com/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=13472" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this</a> one?). I do intend to explore this further...</p>
  
  <p><strong>Update:</strong> It looks like some people have had some success with the SvnBridge git-svn combo. See <a href="http://blog.lozanotek.com/archive/2009/10/20/git-svn_SvnBridge_and_TFS_Source_Control.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>.</p>
  
  <p>Finally, perhaps <a href="http://www.eqqon.com/index.php/GitSharp" rel="nofollow noreferrer">GitSharp</a> will make it easier to develop a useful solution to this problem? Not because GitSharp has anything to do with TFS per se, but simply because it exposes git automation to .NET developers.</p>
