Branching strategies for TFS

There have been a few discussions (Eg. Brian Harry, Martin Woodward, MSDN Forums) and even a session devoted to the topic at our recent TechEd Australia (Mitch Denny). As the title of this post highlights, I’m talking about Branching in TFS.

A scan through my RSS feeds this morning reminded me that Michael Ruminer posted a good concise blog post on this topic last week entitled “Recommendations in SCM Branching Patterns in TFS.” It’s well worth a quick read. We are in the middle of a discussion on this very topic at I client site I am consulting at. Thanks Michael for adding to my side of the argument
