Have you been searching better ways to find some basic information about the project like "what is the size of the project in version control", "what types of files takes more space" etc... If you have been using TFS, probably, you might download that project in the local workspace and use folder properties to find the size, number of files etc.. beyond that point, of you really need to know what kind of files eats up more space etc, you might use some tools like "WinDirStat" ...
Now with VS 2012, there is an extension "TFS Administrators toolkit" offers bunch of additional administrative options... one of them is "Source Control Folder sizes"..
Make sure you install the extension... post installation, restart Visual Studio 2012..you should see the extension appearing as last item on the "Team Project's" context menu (the one comes if you click on the pull down next to the Team Project in Team explorer)
If you choose "Source control folder sizes", it will open up another window which offers you a good tree structure of the team project & size associated at every folder level...
When you drill down and choose a folder, it'll populate all types of files within that folder and size per type in another table right next..
This is pretty useful representation.. we don't have to get latest to find the size of the project.. just do it from within VS & pull data from the server...
