TFS + Git : Custom work item (ReviewOutput)

Question

I would like to create something like "Review Output" work item.

I'm using Git as VersionControl and of Visual Studio Online as TFS server.

Is there a way to create field with Git Commit ID in WIT template?

Additionally it would be perfect if I can create List of items in WIT template.

Maybe you have experience with reviewing changes with Git & TFS and you have another idea, how to handle "code bugs"?

This is generally what a "Pull Request" workflow is for. It captures both review comments, the commit and other data you may be interested in,

But to answer your question, you can link a Git commit to a work item from Web Access only:

The "List of items" you're looking for is not possible using standard work item controls. The Visual Studio Code Review feature for TFVC uses a different control to capture the review comments in the IDE.

You could do the same thing, but would need to create a Team explorer Add-in to capture the review comments.

I wouldn't take this step and wait to see if TFS 2015 will cover your needs out-of-the-box.

Do you know when TFS 2015 will be officially pushed to VSO? – Tomasz Apr 01 '15 at 06:08
VSO will always be ahead of TFS 2015 – jessehouwing Apr 01 '15 at 06:12

Yes, but like it's saying: It's not a code review directly. It's just to get other user know about your comments. – Tomasz Apr 01 '15 at 10:18
