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.
On the start window, select Clone or check out code. In the Browse a repository section, select Azure DevOps. If you see a sign-in window, sign in to your account. In the Connect to a Project dialog box, choose the repo that you want to connect to, and then select Clone.
CTRL + [, P to get pending changes and if the file has been modified it will be in the list.
Select that folder in TFS explorer and right click. you will see the option "Checkin Pending changes.." Show activity on this post. In the team explorer open up the source control tab, then right click on the route folder and select Check in Pending Changes.
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.
It is apparently still in development but is a reasonable solution until Microsoft (hopefully) resolve the UserVoice request.
