We want to try to convert from VSS to TFS for source control, but I understand shared files are not supported. A third party product supposedly can create a linked list of "shared" files and maintain this but does not seem to have any command line support. Will the converter that comes with TFS also do the same hook to dynamically update the copies of files that were shared? As an aside I can't believe MS left out sharing, this is a significant conversion issue for many shops that relied upon it that could be so significant to mean we can not convert to it without this support just due to the current processes in place and the effort that would be required to change those. I would like nothing better to convert to get some of the new features but many teams threw up the red flag when they heard about this issue. Thanks
Actually having problems with the third party solution install.. so anything on an ms solution side would be greatly welcomed!
