Sorry Damian - I'm not sure.

Given Brian's blog post, I'd guess that they're all tied together:

What's the timeline for TFS2008 SP1 RTW/M? Same as VS2008/.NET3.5 SP1?

I know exactly the issue you're running into Damian, this is what I got from 
BuckH last time:


There is a limitation from 2005 that we were unable to change in 2008 where the 
build details clipped after a height of about 65,000 pixels.  Of course, web 
browsers don't have any such limitation.


In Orcas Sp1 we've introduced an easy way to filter out targets.  In 
particular, project to project references result in steps being recorded that 
really aren't useful because msbuid raises events when each time it sees the 
project, even when it's already built and nothing will happen.  This helps 
lessen the problem and cut down on noise, as by default in SP1 we filter out 
the targets that are reported due to p2p refs (it's configurable via a 
property).

(see 
http://blogs.msdn.com/bharry/archive/2008/04/28/team-foundation-server-2008-sp1.aspx)
Reduce build log noise - Eliminate "noise" created by project to project 
references.  Now you will only get 1 message about each.

Yeah I'm getting steps for each project (over 60) and then a step for when each 
project builds another project it references... and a lot of the projects 
reference each other of course.

In TFS 2008 you actually get more than 1 step per project under some 
circumstances. This will be fixed in Service Pack 1, see Aaron's post about 
reducing build log noise:

You'll get a build step for every project in your solution.

For example, we have a solution (in 'SolutionToBuild') with 60 projects in it.



Also, check for manual BuildStep tasks.

Code like below could cause a heap of useless build steps:



<CreateItem Include="c:\**\*.*">

      <Output TaskParameter="Include" ItemName="AllMyFiles"/>

</CreateItem>



<BuildStep TeamFoundationServerUrl="$(TeamFoundationServerUrl)"

               BuildUri="$(BuildURI)"

               Message="%(AllMyFiles)"

               Status="Succeeded" />

(Untested but I presume the above code would suck)

Maybe advise of some of the build step messages you are getting? Are they 
repeating the same thing over and over?

Anybody know why my TFS2008 build has so many steps (over a 1,000) that I can 
no longer scroll down in VS IDE to see them all? Very annoying.
