There is also a way to do this with a SQL query using the Relational data warehouse. You will need access to the tfs_warehouse database for this. There are a few dimension tables you must join to get what you need:

• dbo.WorkItem
• dbo.WorkItemChangeset
• dbo.ChangeSet
• dbo.CodeChurn
• dbo.File

You can use dbo.WorkItemChangeset for the link between changesets and work items and dbo.CodeChurn for the link between changesets and files.

The documentation on this is old and incomplete, but here are some links that explain the fact and dimension tables:

• Understanding the Data Warehouse Architecture
• relational schemas
• work items schema
• source control schema

Note that their is only one Tfs_Warehouse database so the information of all projects in all project collections is stored here. Therefore you cannot trust changeset or work items ID's to be unique. These values are unique within a single project collection so in the Tfs_Warehouse the combination of project collection and changeset or workitem ID is unique.

Unfortunately I do not have access to a Tfs_Warehouse database at the moment so I'm unable to provide you with the exact query. But this question has a similar query you could modify.
