O man, don't start me on TFS. We have the same issue within our company where tfs is still required for compliance reasons. I'm working on a mac, but there is no decent way to checkout tfs that isn't constantly breaking or hanging. jetbrains has some options in their IDE, Eclipse has the best plugin but still not fully functional. Our company decided to use full tfs instead of tfs with a git repo, I'm practically running a vmware fusion box just for TFS.
I've tried some thing with git-tf but that is too unstable to use (and not validated).
