Actually, git-tfs is more advanced than git-tf. I highly advice to use it instead of git-tf (for the moment).
With git-tf, you should clone each branch as a repository (and be unable to cherrypick, merge...) while in the last version of git-tfs you can do it and keep your workflow.
See https://stackoverflow.com/a/13710811/3619
If you know git there is not problem to use git-tfs!
The documentation : https://github.com/git-tfs/git-tfs/blob/master/doc/
just know that if you use :
git tfs checkintool
or :
git tfs checkin
it will create a merge commit
and if you use :
git tfs rcheckin
it will commit each local commit in tfs and fetch and rebase automaticaly on these commits...
But read the wiki documentation, it's clear enough ;)
edit:
Contrary to what @gbjbaanb said, there is a lot of advantages of using git-tfs instead of plain TFS (if you know how to use git...). ALL what you could do with git locally works and is still an advantage (light branching, rebase, local commits, reworking commits, knowing exactly which version is checkouted, fetching and seeing changes WITHOUT merging them with your current workspace, better history,...).
Now with git-tfs, you could even create more easily than with TFS a TFS branch (you just have to create it before doing a commit in it, or rebase onto after creating it if you began your work in a git branch before... ).
The only thing that is not better than TFS, for the moment, is merging 2 TFS branches that is not supported. You should either do a merge with TFS if you want to see the merge in your history (what we generally want) or merge with git and checkin in tfs (and you won't see the merge changeset :( ).
A pull request[1] to resolve all this (and permit to manage merge commit a LOT easier than with TFS) already done and waiting for merge in the trunc (I have just to refactor Unit test and the feature be reviewed).
