TFS Branch Diagrams

Question

Does anyone have any great ideas or experience around easily creating branch diagrams against TFS?

Answer 1

TFS 2008 does not include this functionality, so you have to resort to a plug-in / add-in. I have not found mature projects that produce branch or version diagrams, although many of them allow you to view tree branches / versions.

• Team Foundation Sidekicks has a Sidekick story that includes viewing the version tree
• Vertigo plans to include a version tree view for individual files as well as branches, but still in alpha .

If you do not mind creating a second server for playback only with branch visualization, TFS 2010 Beta 1 will show you the best charts.
