TFS has first-class support for Git repositories (in addition to the classic TFSVC repositories). So yes, they're moving more and more to Git. But no, they're not abandoning TFS.

Interestingly, however, most of their "open source" efforts (.NET, C#, and related) are all on GitHub rather than their own hosted offerings: CodePlex (which is basically dead) or "Visual Studio Team Services".

Not sure why Visual Studio Team Services is in scare quotes -- that's the product's name. And it's not an open source hosting service, which handily explains why Microsoft's open source isn't hosted there.

Disclosure: I'm a PM on VSTS/TFS, and I own part of version control.

Are those scare quotes or just regular old quotes? TFS and associated technologies have been through a lot of names (Visual Studio Team System, TFS, Team Services, and probably a few I can't remember).

Disclaimer: used to work on TFS team.

Just to say, I'm really liking modern VSTS.
