TFVC -> Git Import results in an empty repository

Are imports broken as of 3/2/21?

I tried the import process several times today in different AzDO projects and each time I get an empty git repo upon completion of the migration.

I did see there was an issue associated with repo performance degradation and waited until it was resolved: https://status.dev.azure.com/_event/230197872

Permissions are not an issue. I attempted with elevated permissions and another user attempted as well.

Tried with and without history migration.

We can reproduce this issue on our side and we have reported this issue on our Developer Community forum, you could refer to this ticket to get the latest news.

As a workaround, we could migrate the TFVC repo to Git via git cmd.

Follow the migration guide and execute the clone command:

git tfs clone {TFVC repo URL}

Get all branches:

git tfs branch –init --all

For each branch, run these commands:

git checkout branch

git log -1

git tfs pull -c=changesetNumber

Create a new repo in the azure devops and get the repo URL. Then setup the git repository upstream:

git remote add origin {New repo URL}

Finally you push all your local changes to the Remote.

git push origin -u -all

You could refer to this blog and document for more details.
