I'm looking for a TFS 2010 GUI client that I can use outside of an IDE. I'm only looking to use the source control features in this case. I'm not talking about work items or build management.
Ideally it would be a complete client that can be used on a machine where Visual Studio is not installed.
Options I know about and why I'm not satisfied with them:
Are there others that I don't know about?
Connecting to TFSOn the Project panel, click Connect Project to a Source Control > TFS > Connect to Team Project. The Connect to Team Foundation Server window is displayed.
In the Connect to Team Project dialog box, select the TFS instance you want to connect to, select the team project collection, select the team project you want to add to, and then click Connect. In the Team Explorer window, expand your team project, and then double-click Source Control.
You can install Team Explorer (on the TFS install DVD, or you can download it from MSDN) without needing to have VS2010 installed - Team Explorer will install a 'shell' VS2010 with only the TFS features available - none of the IDE components.
Update: the VS11 beta version is now available.
