I have ran into a problem with history of a certain file on TFS. I need to find a file history in TFS so I could investigate why was it deleted, but we have hundreds of changesets so manual finding is out of question. Is there a way to find a certain file history in a specific TFS directory? I know almost nothing about it - I don't know when it was created, changed and deleted, but I know its directory and full filename. Is this possible at all?
