Microsoft has posted version 1.0 of its TFS Migration and Synchronization Toolkit on its CodePlex site for hosting of open source projects.

The toolkit enables users of the company’s Team Foundation Server software to build custom tools to migrate and syncrhronize with other version control and work-item tracking systems. Team Foundation Server is Microsoft’s application lifecycle management software.

“Customers have asked us for this toolkit to help them integrate TFS into their existing development environments,” the company said on CodePlex.

The toolkit provides bi-directional synchronization of data between TFS and another system, so that transition can be done over time, Microsoft said. Microsoft is asking developers to try out the toolkit and provide feedback.
