We've just moved some projects from Microsoft Visual SourceSafe (VSS) to Microsoft Team Foundation Server (TFS) and have now noticed that keyword expansion no longer works.

For instance, keywords like $Log$ or $Header$ are no longer expanded to the correct values.

Can anyone tell us why this is?

There is now a free tool available: http://logsubstpol.codeplex.com/

I don't know how well it works. Presumably they read Buck's caveats!

  • It works very well. I've used it for several years. Unfortunately it isn't available for VS2015+ or AzureDevOps. – andyabel Jun 21 '19 at 17:16

TFS does not support keyword expansion. See the following post for more information:
