This thread is all about TFS version control, while the post is all about git source control in Visual Studio Online. I never got along with TFS source control, but git source control on VSO works great for me. I've worked with several private repos on VSO, then pushed to external on GitHub when they were ready to go public, and it was a non-event - commit history and everything came over as you'd expect. It's standard git hosting. VSO also has a lot of other handy features like cloud-hosted load testing (https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/explore/vso-cloud-load-testing-vs https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/explore/vso-cloud-load-te...) - 20,000 virtual user minutes free every month. If you have an MSDN account, you can apply your monthly Azure credits to test hours. It's a pretty good way to hammer a site, I've used it to test autoscale.
