Team Foundation Server 2012 and GIT

Question

Is it possible to build projects created in vs2012, manually pushed to my git repository with Team Foundation Server 2010/12?

In the other words: Can I choose my git repository path as source, to build it with TFS? I've chosen TFVC as source control because TFS2012 doesn't support git as source control yet. I know I can do this in Team Foundation Service but I don't want to use it.

Are you talking about the hosted service at visualstudio.com, or a local installation of TFS? how does GIT come into this? — Rowland Shaw
My TFS is on-premise for example on Computer A. I want TFS to manage(build etc.) my git source control which is also on the Computer A. — MistyK

It should be possible now, keep in mind as well that the Update 2 for VS 2012 added GIT support.Take a look: http://www.hanselman.com/blog/GitSupportForVisualStudioGitTFSAndVSPutIntoContext.aspx

You can use VS Git support with all your Git projects by just opening projects. It's just Git. I am pushing branches to CodePlex, to GitHub and other Git repos. I'm also continuing to use my other Git tools interchangeably, as I like.

For teams, you can go up to http://tfs.visualstudio.com and sign up for a account and get 5 users for free. You can choose either Git or Team Foundation Version Control (TFVC) as the source provider and use all the Team Foundation agile, scrum or other templates for your ALM tools.
