Use windows username instead of disaply name for linking to TFS 2012
I am unable to link databases to TFS 2012 due to our parent company enforcing a Active Directory display name of "LastName, FirstName" which TFS claims is invalid due to the comma.
It is a known issue with TFS (http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/768112/tfs-2012-build-failing-with-tf10158-user-name-contains-unsupported-characters)
The workaround listed on Microsoft Connect is to use "domain\username" instead of display name when sending commands to TFS. Unfortunately, SQL Source Control doesn't expose a way to do this currently.
