CVS SCC plugin for TortoiseCVS

This plugin allows you to access CVS directly from within Microsoft Visual Studio and other Windows IDEs/editors.

If you have found this page, you may already know of Jalindi Igloo, which offers the same functionality.

The purpose of this project is not to reinvent the wheel, and in fact it is based on the publicly available source code of Igloo (as of September 2001). Rather, it is intended to correct a number of apparent deficiencies of the most recent binary distribution, which cannot be fixed as the source code is not available.

In implementing this project, I will strive to obtain the same elegance as is present in the TortoiseCVS Explorer shell extension.

More specific goals:

• Keep the interface very simple for the user. This means not having configuration dialogs that you have to go to before things work, and instead asking questions where the answers are needed for the first time. It means doing as much as possible automatically, by being clever rather than bloating the user with extra options to worry about.
• Options should be as unobtrusive and internally clever as possible.
