git-tfs ignores changes to config

Question

I used git-tfs with TFS2012 for a while, but recently we migrated to TFS2013 and the TFS address has changed.

I can't seem to do git tfs checkin any more as it tries to send changes to the old address.

I updated the url in .git\config , cleared TFS cache, but git-tfs still tries to checkin using the old address and appends new tfs-remote with the old url to the config file every time I try to do it.

How can I make it to checkin to the new url?

Should probably have used `git tfs configure` to update instead. — jessehouwing, Mar 19 '15 at 12:41
I'd simply clone a new local repository from the TFS server if I were you :). — jessehouwing, Mar 19 '15 at 12:42
As the command does stuff on the TFS side as well (create workspace, map folders etc). — jessehouwing, Mar 19 '15 at 12:53

To make checkin with a new TFS address use an ability to set up it explicitly via checkin options:

-i, --tfs-remote, --remote, --id=VALUE
                         The remote ID of the TFS to interact with
                         default: default

Also it is recomendet to clean git and git-tfs cache by next commands accordingly:

git gc
git tfs cleanup
