Mercurial and SQL Server Management Studio GUI plugins?

Question

Does no such plugin exist?

So to be clear, I realize that RedGate has their own SSMS SCC app, and I realize that VSS2k5 will integrate in. I'm looking to stay with Hg as that's where my source already is, and I'ld like to find something that my team can stay consistent with on their tools.

As is, I guess I'm going to have to just run it through TortoiseHg and a folder with manual maintenance. Which isn't terrible, but naturally it would be nicer if there was an app pre-existing that I could consume.

And no, I don't have the time or inclination to write one myself. Not before Summer 2011.

Thoughts or ideas?

Answer 1

There are two versions of HgScc plugin:

1. HgScc - uses old MS SCCI API, works with MS VS2005/2008/2010 and with some third party IDEs. Last version of this plugin was released in 2008. It is not actively developed anymore, because MS SCCI API is very limiting and does not allow a tight integration with Visual Studio.

2. HgSccPackage - uses MS SCC Package, works only with MS VS2008/2010. This version of plugin currently in active development.

To get the first version of HgScc follow the instructions here: MSSCCI compliant Mercurial client
