Is there a way to use the Visual Studio 2010-style Pending Changes / Team Explorer in Visual Studio 2012? [duplicate]

The Team Explorer / Pending Changes in VS 2012 is horrible.

Is there a way to bring back the VS 2010 Pending Changes window?

Even a good standalone TFS client will do.

Create a new external tool (tools -> external tools)

Command: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\tf.exe

Argument: checkin

Initial Directory: $(SolutionDir)

Use Output Window Unticked (dialog doesn't seem to popup if this is on)

There is a free 3rd party plugin called TeamPilgrim which imitates the old pending changes window from Visual Studio 2010.

enter image description here

It is apparently still in development but is a reasonable solution until Microsoft (hopefully) resolve the UserVoice request.

Download and further details here:
