TFS Code Comment Check-In Policy - This Team Foundation Server (TFS) checkin policy ensures that the source code contains code comments (/// for C#, ''' for VB.NET) for classes, methods, properties, fields and events before checking it into Team Foundation version control (TFVC).

TFS Code Review Workflow Check-In Policy - This project is a combination of a Code Review Work Item and a Code Review Check-in Policy. The check-in policy doesn’t allow a check-in unless it has an associated Code Review work item, and that work item is set to approved. Only people in a TFS group named {Project}\Code Reviewers can set an item to approved.

TFS Custom Path Check-In Policy - The Custom Path CheckIn Policy works in concert with existing Team Foundation Server (TFS) check-in policies, providing a mechanism that allows you to specify the source control path(s) that a particular policy is allowed to act on. This will allow for example a single Team Project to have one set of Code Analysis rules for a particular folder and completely different set of rules for another folder. It would also allow for filtering what specific items the rules work on for instance enforcing a Work Item for any check-in of files ending in ".cs, .sln, .csproj" but ignore the rule for all other check-ins.
