Webmatrix: No files checked-in error message

Having a personal Windows Azure account all setup, I began developing a blank site for the purpose of being a “test tube” for my self taught dabblings on Razor, Twitter Bootstrap and other subjects of interest to me.

The initial setup was:

• Provisioning the Azure Web Site;
• Getting the Bootstrap starter page and its custom stylesheet;
• Adding the files to a new Project on the TFS default collection.

Afterwards, I submitted a first check-in to TFS service just for the sake of testing the whole of the development tools. I got the error: “No files were checked-in”.

After a few exploitations, I realized the Webmatrix development tool failed to create the TFS project. I had to create the project manually on the TFS Web console and afterwards it worked fine.

Still, it’s kind of a let down to find this bug on such an early stage of development.
