Cannot clear mapped workspaces

[isxek...@lycos.com]

Hello,

If I use the same directory name for cloning a TFS repo, I get the following message:

$ git tfs clone --with-branches http://xx.xx.xx.xx:80 $/ProjName testrepo

Initialized empty Git repository in c:/wrk/testrepo/.git/

The path c:\wrk\testrepo\.git\tfs\default\workspace is already mapped

in workspace git-tfs-fff779c0-3c40-4e30-a0ee-1c34b0415153.

You may be able to resolve this problem.

- Run 'git tfs cleanup-workspaces' to remove the workspace.

$ git tfs cleanup-workspaces

This command must be run inside a git repository!

Already at top level, but .git not found.

Command exited with error code: 128

After I get the first message, the "testrepo" folder vanishes immediately, which is how I get the second message.

Deleting the contents of the Microsoft Team Foundation Local Workspaces directory in C:\ProgramData and C:\Users\AllUsers did not help.

I am using git-tfs 0.17.1.

Is there a way to find where the workspace mapping data is so I can remove any old data inside it?

Thanks in advance!

Hi!

Can you try this, from a VS command prompt?

$ tf workspace /delete git-tfs-fff779c0-3c40-4e30-a0ee-1c34b0415153

If that doesn't work, you might be able to split the clone into init
and fetch to get it to work:

$ git tfs init --with-branches http://xx.xx.xx.xx:80 $/ProjName testrepo
$ cd testrepo
$ git tfs cleanup
$ git tfs fetch --all

Thanks for the response, Matt. I will try this on Monday when I come back to work.

This requires the TFS 2012 Power Tools, right?

No, it should work with just a normal Team Explorer install.
