Using Git at home has spoiled me - I now find using TFS at work to be a bit of a drag and want to explore the possibility of using Git locally and syncing somehow with TFS. I figure there are a few different ways this can be done and would like to hear from people that have attempted it.
I've found a blog post that describes a relatively manual workflow, but I'm hoping for something with better automation, and history support.
Jim Deville appears to be writing a series on how the IronRuby team keeps their github repository in sync with TFS but it is not yet complete and I must admit I had a little trouble following what Jim has written so far.
I briefly attempted to use a combination of SvnBridge and git-svn but I got stuck on an error quite quickly (perhaps this one?). I do intend to explore this further...
Update: It looks like some people have had some success with the SvnBridge git-svn combo. See here.
Finally, perhaps GitSharp will make it easier to develop a useful solution to this problem? Not because GitSharp has anything to do with TFS per se, but simply because it exposes git automation to .NET developers.

Git in Visual Studio, Azure DevOps Services, and TFS is standard Git. You can use Visual Studio with third-party Git services, and you can also use third-party Git clients with TFS. To learn more, see Git and Azure Repos.
In the Project area in the web portal, select Code, then select the drop-down next to the current repo name and choose New Repository. In the Create a new repository dialog, verify that Git is the repo type and enter a name for your new repo.
In Team Foundation Server 2015 Update 1, a project administrator can add a Git repo to a project created with Team Foundation Version Control (TFVC). You can also add a TFVC repo to a project created with Git. This allows you to adopt a new version control system while preserving all the data in your project.
You should use Git for version control in your projects unless you have a specific need for centralized version control features in TFVC. In other words, if you have a very specific reason why you need to continue using TFVC, Microsoft would rather you didn't.
There's the open source project Git-tfs (not to be confused with Git-tf):
