Using patch files with TFS (patch file - from subversion, git, etc.)

Question

Can patch files read TFS or visual studio? I would like to create a shelf or apply a patch to a workspace in TFS.

Answer 1

According to this question :

• You can create unified diff patch files with:

  tf diff / format: unified [/ shelveset:]> filename.diff

with tf.exe usually here C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE (see tf Command-Line Utility Tool in Team Foundation Server ).

• You cannot import / use a patch file in TFS.
