We have 3 branches: Main, Dev, Release.

If I do my work in Dev, then want to merge the changes, I first Check-In my Dev project. Then I go to the Source Control View and first merge Main into Dev (just in case), then check Dev in (again), then merge Dev into Main, then checkin Main (again).

Without opening the main project, is there a way I can view the pending changes (say, view the pending changes on Main before I check it in the second time). I don’t think there should be any, but it would be nice to know exactly what is different with this checkin.

I think this makes more sense from the first checkin of Main. What if I accidentally opened the Main project one day and was mucking around? I might be checking in something I’ve forgotten about, and I can’t seem to find a quick way to check this from the Source Control View.

Thanks

    The pending changes window shows everything in the current workspace that is checked out. Is that what you are looking for? You can filter this list by the current solution, but it will also show the entire workspace.
