        It's been almost 2 years, are we still looking at this? Can it be part of TFS 2013?

        I'm sure it's been said, but project names change all the time. As silly as it sounds, this is a really important feature. This helps developers speak the same language as business which reduces confusion all around.

        This is just crazy. Can't you have some sort of migration tool at the least????? As in create new project, run migration tool, migrates source code, history, build history, work items, etc to new project. Then you're free to delete the old project after review.

        This is crazy that there is no fix for this yet. Microsoft time to start listening to us.... there is plenty of other and cheaper options.

        If this is so hard, how is it a community member has a successful tool they wrote to do this? This is a BASIC feature that should just be a part of VS!

        Come on how can such a basicutility function be missing in a current software projuct?

        Update, I have received the approval from my manager to release the tool, so I am working on setting up a Codeplex project which I hope to have done by middle of next week.

        Would love to try your tool Brian. I'd be happy to write some documentation for you.

        I started stetting up a Codeplex project, then one of my managers was not sure, so it may take a bit of time convincing him of the value of sharing this type of project. I also need to do some documentation...:>(

        I will let you know soon

        Brian,
        It's great that you have created such a useful/needed utility. How can I get a copy of your utility?
