Question

I\'m trying to recursively rename a bunch of TFS folders using tf rename, PowerShell and a regular expression but I\'m having some issues with PowerShell as I haven

Answer 1

Notes:

• TFS has native cmdlets -- no need for tf.exe in most cases.
• The time complexity of workspace operations depends on the number of pending renames already in the workspace. In TFS 2005/2008 it's significantly worse than linear. Bottom line, you should really consider batching up renames into multiple checkins if you have a large # of items, otherwise every single "tf rename" (or New-TfsPendingChange -Rename if using the cmdlets) will start taking minutes.
