I'm tempted to try this with our TFS setup [1] (VSS in all but name [2] with lots of "features" unrelated to version control)...

1: Yes, I know that TFS supports git repositories. But I have the same issue: Convincing management that this might be a good idea.

2: Actually I consider TFS's source control part worse than VSS. While VSS was a hack, TFS is sold as 'enterprise' software. And it's unbelievably bad (again, only talking about the source control part and leaving out all the other things it can do. Maybe some are less half-assed than the source control part is?). Given the choice I'd pick CVS over TFS.



TFS using GIT isn't too bad. You then get GIT, with the project management features of TFS.


TFS keeps all the crap inside an SQL Server database, so it might be a bit harder to perfom the "trick".
