It just got my vote.

For anyone interested, there is a suggestion on Connect for Visual Studio and .NET Framework feedback regarding keyword expansion.

 

If anyone wonders why the VSTS team hasn't put any effort into this suggestion, it has had no votes other than the author of the suggestion--making them believe it's not an important addition.

If you feel strongly that this is an important feature of a revision control system or a software configuration management system, logon and vote.

Subject: [OzTFS] Keyword Expansion not supported in TFS

 

For those of you considering migrating from Visual SourceSafe to TFS this is one of the questions you might be asked.

 

Keyword expansion is what happens when you have special "keywords" in your source files like $Author $History and $Version. In VSS when you checkin a file it expands those keywords to their actual values.

 

This is handy if say, you have *.asp files sitting on a web server and want to know what version they are.

 

This post on the MSDN forums talks about it a bit more:

This MSDN article is also a useful migration resource:
