I’d like to increase developers’ "comfort level" in our team a bit. We are using Visual Studio 2008 and TortoiseCVS + WinCVS, but no integration as of yet.

In your CVS/Visual Studio experience, what is the best integration tool in terms of "supports basic CVS functionality add/diff/update/commit/annotate/etc", "works out of the box", almost "bug-free"?

  • a) commercial
  • b) free or open source

Edit:

There are 2 commercial MSSCCI bridge solutions I’ve found so far: PushOk.com and TamTam (daveswebsite.com). Both were developed quite a long time ago and now have only minor updates. Being MSSCCI bridges, they are somewhat limited in functionality and can not provide all the nice features of vsPackage SCC provider, but are probably better than nothing.

  1. You might be stuck with one of those MSSCCI bridges you mentioned. As it is, not too many people still use CVS, especially those using Visual Studio (most of them seem to use Team System’s revision control, or Subversion).

    There’s always the possibility of hacking together your own macros to take care of CVS operations, but this has the disadvantage of not giving you real, in-depth integration the way a an SCC provider, or even an old brige, would.
