TFS auto-checkout before checkin

Question

Does a feature like \"TFS auto-checkout before checkin\" exist, so that I don\'t checkout any file until the moment I say \"checkin\", e.g. in case I only change files tempo

Answer 1

You can tell Visual studio not to check out on edit, go to tools, options, source control, environment. Then select the behaviour you want. If you choose editing to "do nothing" and saving to "prompt for checkout" it should be pretty close to what you want.

You could also look at svnBridge which allows you to use TortoiseSVN with TFS. I assume that the point of svnBridge is to allow developers used to SVN to use TFS without having to change the way they work, so it should meet your needs.

A combination of both of these should get you close.
