Microsoft announced Wednesday that it is adding git support to TFS and Visual Studio, putting the distributed version control system on an equal footing with its current centralized system.

The new Black Duck Visual Studio extensions will automatically detect any known open-source code used during your TFS and TS builds.

Microsoft is still to announce a release date for either TFS or Visual Studio 11. TFS is currently available in an invitation-only beta, though it is authorized for use in production environments.
