In Visual Studio 2013 Update 3, I accidentally checked in a not-compiling, work-in-progress changeset that I intended to shelve in order for a co-worker to take. I rolled back the change set right away. Bad me.
Is there a way to recover that bad/rolled-back changeset as a Pending Changes so that I (or my co-worker) may continue to work on it? I didn't see anything in the UI and had to manually pull out each file and construct the pending changes by hand. It was only 20 minutes of work to code it originally, so not that big a deal (it was my error) but I'm curious if there was a better way.

View the history of the thing you want to rollback. Select the changeset you want to roll back. Right click on the changset and choose "Rollback". Check that the pending changes are correct (the rollback command will revert the entire changeset not just the file you selected)
Find a changeset by IDIn Source Control Explorer, press Ctrl + G. The Go to Changeset dialog box appears. Type the number of the changeset and choose OK. If you don't know the number, choose Find.
As was said in the comments, you can "rollback the rollback". I do it all the time. Just find the rollback changeset in history, and roll that back, and it will get you your half-finished changes into your local workspace, so you can continue working on them and check them in when done.
