Importing Mercuial(hg) repository to Team Foundation Services

I'm looking for any suggestions or tools that can be used to migrate a Mercurial(hg) repository on a Windows 7 system to a TFS repository on Visualstudio.com. I currently use TortoiseHg to interface with the Mercuial repository. I had found a post that says i can be done with SVNBridge but no details and it didn't makes sense to me since SVN is different than Mercurial.

If you are using Git version control for your VSTS repository, you can use Hg-Git mercurial plugin to convert a hg repository to Git repository.

A link for your reference: Easy Migration from Mercurial to Git

If you are using Team Foundation Version Control (TFVC) for your VSTS repository, there isn't any tool to migration it directly as I know. But you can convert the Mercurial repository to Git repository first and then use git-tfs to convert the Git repository to TFVC repository.

Update: You can following the steps below to do this:

  1. Create a new folder.

  2. Navigate to the created folder and run "git-tfs clone https://xxxx.visualstudio.com/DefaultCollection/ $/Project" command. This will create a local git repo in the folder.

  3. Open the git repo folder and run "git remote add origin " command.

  4. Run "git pull origin yourbranch" command.

  5. Run “git-tfs checkin" command.
