TFVC: Error TF30063 when attempting to connect to a "Server" workspace

[eogas]

It's not particularly clear from the documentation whether or not this is intentional, but it seems that there is currently only support for local TFVC workspaces. When attempting to connect to a "Server" workspace, I get the following debug output:

Running team signin after receiving this failure results in the following error:

(team) No Team Services or Team Foundation Server repository configuration was found. Ensure you've opened a folder that contains a repository.

Sorry for the bad report if this is intentionally not supported at this time, but it wasn't clear from the readme.

Hi @eogas. Yes, I'll take an item to make it more apparent in the README that the workspace needs to be local. We've got an item on the backlog to support Server workspaces at some point, but I don't have an ETA on that.

+1 supporting server workspaces (where can we upvote -- Connect?).

[eogas]

@jeffyoung cool, thanks for the info!

Hi @ddavisringtown. This is a good a place as any to upvote 👍 (I prefer keeping everything related to this project within the GitHub, at least as much as possible).
