Build SVN code from TFS

You maybe experiencing this similar situation. For some reasons, some developers/teams like to use SVN instead of TFS which is the corporate/department’s standard source control system. Since you might have other systems including testing(MTM), work tracking, and Scrum planning integrated with TFS, use TFS as the integral component might be a good idea, especially for business users.

To achieve this, you can either

• Setup the svnBridge on the TFS server, or
• Setup TFS build process to work with SVN

SvnBridge

Download from Codeplex

Install it on the TFS Server

Modify the web.config file
<add key=”TfsUrl” value=”http://<tfsServer&gt;:8080/tfs/<projectCollection>” />
<add key=”ReadAllUserDomain” value=”<tfsServer>” />
<add key=”ReadAllUserName” value=”<svnBridgeReadUser>” />
