TFS to Azure DevOps Migration
I am undergoing the process of going from a very old TFS to Azure DevOps. There is a consideration whether to use TFVC or GIT. I used the git tfs deep clone feature to create a repo and it was about 3 GB. Does that mean the repo is too large to use as a git repo? If I cannot logically break it into smaller repos, does this mean I have to continue using TFVC instead?

Not necessarily, you have a few options:
- use Git LFS on your Azure server, as detailed by Microsoft in "Manage and store large files in Git"
- use an intermediate server with VFS for Git active, which would then allow you to work with Git repos of multiple hundreds of GB(!).

An in fact git itself without any modifications may be just fine here. My repository (the Azure DevOps repo) is about 3 GB and we're reasonably happy with it without VFS for Git.

@EdwardThomson That means... a git status (mentioned in gvfs.io) is not too long? By the way, didn't you say in a recent podcast you had to change www.gvfs.io? (to something like vfs4g.io)
