Uninstalling TFS 2005 (services) on the app tier removes reporting services virtual directories
May 6th, 2008 · No Comments · Issues and Hotfixes, Team Foundation Server, TFS 2005, TFS Administration, TFS Reporting

Code churn [1] in TFS 2005 and TFS 2008 is calculated using a very simple algorithm: inserted + changed + deleted lines [2]. This is done independently of the contents of the line, which means that everything – incl. comments, blank lines, etc. – is counted. — [1] http://blogs.msdn.com/mohamedg/archive/2007/12/04/code-churn.aspx [2] http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms244698(VS.80).aspx
