    <p>Using the TFS API I am trying to approximate bugs/file. </p> <p>A bug (as I define it) originates from a file in a change set that has been associated with a work item that has type WorkItemType = 'Bug'. For example, in branch-a, branch-a/1.txt and branch-a/2.txt are checked in and associated with a 'Bug' work item. Call this changeset X. There are now two bugs in branch-a associated with those two files. </p> <p>If I merge branch-a back into its parent (the root branch), the root also gains these bugs, so root/1.txt and root/2.txt are also bugs - basically the root branch has gained the buggy history of it child. Bugs can be inherited in this fashion. This property is preserved across renames. So if root/1.txt was renamed to root/hello.txt it's still a bug. </p> <p>I start with iterating over all "Bug" work items in the TFS project: In this example there is a single work item, which is associated with changeset X, which is associated with changes on branch-a/1.txt and branch-a/2.txt (although those files could be renamed now in the present).</p> <p>Now I want to know all places where branch-a/1.txt and branch-a/2.txt ended up (once again, even with renames). </p> <p>So, given a Changeset cs and a Change c within cs, I want know for each branch if c made it into that branch and the most recent file name where c resides. </p> <p>Another way to think about the problem is thinking about moving forward through history. I start at specific point in time with a change in a single branch. Now this change needs to be tracked all the way to the present.</p> <p>Any ideas? I can provide clarification as needed.</p> <p>Thank you!</p>

    1. COI made some code to track Work Items associated with a changeset - tracking from branched codelines. Maybe you can use this. It's here: http://stackoverflow.com/a/8551150/600559

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
