Rename VSTS Project

I saw another thread where you could not rename a version control folder at the root level, but, have not seen anything about renaming a VSTS project that would also rename the top level directory...any cool command line utilities to do this...I don't want to rebuild my VSTS project...

Rename VSTS Project

    I'm not sure I follow. Let's say you have c:\myworkspace\TeamProject mapped to $/TeamProject. You might be able to rename c:\workspace\TeamProject on disk using Windows Explorer or some other filesystem utility, but all you'll do is confuse TFS. Our command-line tools will stop you from performing this rename.

    Just to make sure it's clear: you cannot rename Team Projects in V1 period (it doesn't matter if it's the command-line, Team Explorer, SCE, web services directly whatever). However, it's something we're considering for V2. I just wanted to make sure the "from Team Explorer" part wasn't confusing the issue for anyone :)

    Thanks.

    No...I want to rename the actual VSTS Project...i.e. the name in Team Explorer...

    Sorry, you cannot rename Team Projects from Team Explorer either.
