Some examples of cmdlets making life easier

Couple things I needed to do today - you can see how they were much simpler thanks to a couple of cmdlets I had written in the past:

delete shelvesets I didn't need any more.
- Since I only wanted to keep a few that I had made today, I just checked the creation date against today.
- Get-TfShelveset | ?{ $_.creationdate -lt [datetime]::today } | %{ tf.exe shelve /delete /i $_.name }

delete workspaces where none of the mapped local folders exist any more

 Get-TfWorkspace | %{ 
 $oneexists = $false
  $_.Folders | %{ $oneexists = $oneexists -or [io.directory]::exists($_.localitem) }
  if (-not $oneexists) { 
        "Deleting $($_.DisplayName)" 
        tf.exe workspace /delete /i $_.Name
 } else { 
      "Keeping $($_.DisplayName)" 
 } 
}
