I'm trying to clone a branch in an existing TFS repository, and I am following the instructions.  It says you start with something like:

git tfs list-remote-branches http://tfs:8080/tfs/DefaultCollection

However, http://tfs:8080 doesn't work for me.  I'm not sure what the URL of my TFS server should be.  The best clue I can find is when I go into "manage workspaces" in VS2013, and edit a workspace, and go to advanced, the "Server" is listed as: acme-tfs\02.  So what should me TFS URL be?

Best regards,

That's normaly something that you are aware of ;)

Perhaps you could also open the "Web Portal" from your visual studio and the url you get is the one of your tfs server.
In the example tfs url, the first "tfs" is in fact the name of your tfs server ( and 8080 is not always needed or could be different if your connexion is secured : https )
