Is there any way to do this? I know that I can do tf changeset xxx
and it will tell me which files were "delete, source rename" for the old file paths but if there are multiple renames, there is no way to be sure which file goes with which.
Also if the change is local and has not yet been committed, I do not see a way to make this work.
For local changes:
C:\Users\JesseHouwing\Source\Workspaces\vsts-tfvc-tasks-test>tf rename "changes.122204,old" "changes.122204.new"
changes.122204.new
C:\Users\JesseHouwing\Source\Workspaces\vsts-tfvc-tasks-test>tf status /format:detailed
$/vsts-tfvc-tasks-test/changes.122204.new;C29

For remote changes, when you know the changeset number, use the changeset option to see:
C:\Users\JesseHouwing\Source\Workspaces\vsts-tfvc-tasks-test>tf changeset 29 /noprompt

rename $/vsts-tfvc-tasks-test/changes.122204,old
use /itemmode
and history to track a specific file, here you can see the previous name of that specific file:
C:\Users\JesseHouwing\Source\Workspaces\vsts-tfvc-tasks-test>tf vc history "changes.122204,old" /noprompt /format:detailed /itemmode

If the rename wasn't done through Visual Studio or through the tf rename
command it may show up as a delete
and an add
and the relationship between those changes would have been lost. Visual Studio provides a UI to fix those kinds of changes before check-in, but once checked in, that information won't come back
