tfs2013

I'm using VS2013 Update 4 with TFS 2013 Update 4. In Source Control Explorer, whenever I move a file from one folder to another I can see that the file's history is preserved in the new location. However, that history is gone when I check-in the pending changes. The same thing happens when I try to run "tf move" command. So, how can you move a file in TFS and still keep the file's history? When a file is renamed correctly, the History is not "Gone", it's associated to the "old name" instead. A rename that is done the right way (tracked as a rename and not as an delete+add) has a drilldown

When I checked in the code, TFS 2013 built the solution automatically. It is okay in local VS 2013 but failed in TFS. Here is the summary. Summary FTPProcessor | Any CPU 1 error(s), 56 warning(s) $/xxxx/NewServiceHost/New-Branch/NewServiceHost/packageRestore.proj - 0 error(s), 0 warning(s) $/xxxx/NewServiceHost/New-Branch/GenericWindowsServices.sln - 1 error(s), 56 warning(s) C:\Builds\1\xxxx\FTP Processor (New)\src\.nuget\nuget.targets (71): The task factory "CodeTaskFactory" could not be loaded from the assembly "C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\12.0\bin\amd64\Microsoft.Build.Tasks.v4.0.dll".

As the resident TFS admin, on occasion I am asked to undo a checkout (usually a lock) that a user has on a certain file. This can be done via the command line using the TF.exe utility's Undo command (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/c72skhw4.aspx ), but that's kind of a pain. Is there a way to undo another user's checkout via the GUI? brett rogers Out of the box, no, but there are at least a couple of options via add-ons.
