History with diffs embedded

Question

To see the history of each checkin a user has done in a directory tree i can type:

tf history . /recursive /user:name /noprompt /format:detailed

It displays all checkins "name" has performed with checkin comments and paths to the changed files. I want to display, in addition to that, the diff of each affected file. Like /format:extraverbose. Is there a way to have tf do that? If not, how can you create a powershell script that does that for me?

You can disregard things like branches and merges - there are none in the directory tree.

by "the diff of each affected file" you mean added/removed/changed lines ? — Nock, May 03 '12 at 13:29
Yep, exactly. The builtin diff-format that ``tf diff . /noprompt`` uses would work nicely. — Björn Lindqvist, May 03 '12 at 13:37

I don't think there's a command line for that right now, maybe you can create a Powershell script using the TFS Powertools CmdLet.

Otherwise you can still make a command line exe using the TFS API, it's easier than one might think. Look at this answer to get the source files of a command line tool that I made for someone.
