Let's recap Items one more time. Items are unique . They have an ID that no other item does. Items are versioned . Like all version control systems, TFVC is about making it easy to store successive versions of the same item and retrieve old ones when

A recent request : "I want to be able to add a label to all files that were modified/added/whatever as part of a changeset." Sounds like a job for PowerShell! function label- changeset ( [ string ] $ serverName , [ string ] $ labelName , [ int ] $ changeset
