TortoiseSVN-Like Repo Browser for TFS 2010

My company has been using SVN, but has recently made the move to TFS 2010 for source control, continuous integration, and work item management. We're pretty happy with TFS so far, but it seems like it is missing a couple of features we liked from TortoiseSVN. Specifically, the TortoiseSVN Repo-Browser has the ability to select the revision to view. That way, you can easily see what files and folders existed at the revision of your choosing.

We have not been able to find a way to do this using the Source Control explorer in VS2010. This makes it difficult to get the history of development branches that were reintegrated into the Trunk and deleted.

I have looked into solutions like SVNBridge, but have yet to get it working correctly. Are there any other solutions out there for accomplishing this?

Correct me if I'm wrong, understood your question as need to see exactly what files existed in source control when some particular label was applied. I have separate workspace setup for such case, which is mapped to a working folder on my drive other than my default workspace. So I can switch to this workspace in source control explorer, then go to File->Source Control->Get Specific Version, specify either a label or a date, and get the files.

If you don't want to get these files but only need to see a list of files then you can use File->Source Control->Label->Find Label... - the UI is not most user friendly there though.

TFS doesn't currently offer this view today but it is something that we have on our backlog. It is good to hear that it is something that people want. I'll make sure we give this experience some more priority.

Let me know if you are interested in writing this view yourself and I can point you at the APIs you should use.
