I was trying to migrate tfs to git using git tfs clone command:

git tfs clone https://locahost/collection $/"Test project/feature-branch"

Error received:

  • Hi Uday, Did you get a chance to implement the solution that Daniel suggested? Were you able to resolve? – PatrickLu-MSFT Nov 01 '19 at 10:03
  • Hi Patrick, it migrates around 180k changeset and then it gets stuck at a certain changeset with the above error – Uday Nov 07 '19 at 09:44

It looks like you have a typo:

$/"Test project/feature-branch"

You should wrap the entire source control path in quotation marks: "$/Test project/feature-branch"

  • Hi Daniel, it migrates around 180k changeset and then it gets stuck at a single changeset with the above error – Uday Nov 06 '19 at 05:27
  • Yes, I tried wrapping sourcepath in double-quotes. but, it's failing. – Uday Dec 18 '19 at 13:30
