TFS Branching and Disk Space


I've been thinking over some branching strategies (creating branches per feature, maybe per developer since we're a small group) and was wondering if anyone had experienced any issues. Does creating a branch take up much space?


Solution

  • Last time I looked, TFS uses copy-on-write, which means that you won't increase disk space until you change files. It's kind of like using symlinks until you need to change things.
