TFS annotate/blame summary report for a project

Question

In Team Foundation Server, I know that you can use the Annotate feature to see who last edited each line in a particular file (equivalent to \"Blame\" in CV

Answer 1

It's easy enough to use the "tf.exe history" command recursively across a directory of files in TFS. This will tell you who changed what files.

However what you're after is a little bit more than this - you want to know if the latest versions of any files have lines written by a particular user.

The Team Foundation Power Tools ship with a command-line version of annotate called "tfpt.exe annotate". This has a /noprompt option to direct the output to the console, but it only outputs the changeset id - not the user name.

You could also use the TFS VersionControl object model to write a tool that does exactly what you need.
