Azure DevOps 将 TFS 项目迁移到同一个 Git 存储库

Question

On TFS/TFVC I have this project with these branches:

|_ProjectAbc
    |__ProjectAbc_Main
    |__ProjectAbc_Dev

Now I'm migrating all my TFS projects to Git using the Azure DevOps Portal.

There I click on "Import Repository" and choose to import from TFVC. At this is all fine.

But the "Import Repository" don't recognise and separate the branches.

My idea is to create a Git repository by importing the ProjectAbc_Main branch to be the master and then create a branch based on master to be my DEV branch.

But I want to import my TFS ProjectAbc_Dev branch to my Git DEV branch and include all the history too.

How can I do that?

I can change my Git DEV branch with the TFS ProjectAbc_Dev branch and then sync the branch, but with this I loose my ProjectAbc_Dev history and I want to keep the history.

Any idea?

That's not possible with AzureDevOps migration tool that support only simple cases.

You should use a tool like git-tfs to be able todo that: https://github.com/git-tfs/git-tfs/blob/master/doc/usecases/migrate_tfs_to_git.md#fetch-all-the-history-for-all-branches
