Migrate SVN to TFS with GIT TFS

I'm wondering whether I can use GIT-TFS as a tool to migrate git repository to TFSVC.

I've tried using GIT TF and it works using checkin --deep. (not working with branches though)

Is this somehow possible using GIT-TFS?

Steps:

  1. git svn to create a local git repository from remote svn.
  2. git tfs init http://tfs-repository
  3. git tfs rchekin <- ERROR: No TFS parents found.

Any help?

    Perhaps, if you know perfectly well how git-tfs works, you could end up with what you ask for (because git-tfs support branches). But it won't be an automatic process, you will have to do a LOT of things manually (with hours and hours of hard work to do!). I highly recommend against trying to do that. The way Git works and TFS works made it very difficult to migrate from Git to TFSVC...

    Git-tfs was created to use git locally when you are obliged to use TFS as source control or to migrate sources away of TFSVC because that's not a good Version Control System.

    Don't try to use it to be locked using TFSVC :(

    I think that you should better either migrate your sources inside a Git project in TFS if you have TFS2013 or use Git as central repository.
