Someone is working on a git-tfs similar to git-svn. Would love to hear how it’s working from someone that could actually use it now.

I use this method successfully with SourceSafe. Alternatively, you can also have your git and TFS paths in a separate folder, and use WinMerge to avoid locking issues.

I don't remember the exact problems that I read about and I never tried it myself. Have you been able to successfully use the svn bridge like you've described?

When that happens I just try to avoid those files until they've been unlocked. In my organization we try not to lock files unless necessary (i.e. for major changes).

I am doing the same thing with Mercurial right now. I like Mercurial for this task because there is good windows support in TortoiseHg, and Mercurial Queues works out well for the task of keeping local customizations etc. I know there is patch queue management for git as well, so that might be effective for you to avoid having to do manual cherry picks or rebases. Now how do you handle checkins where another developer has chosen to lock a file? Interesting. I am doing the same thing with Mercurial right now.
