I have a CVS add-in to Visual Studio. The add-in writes to the output window everything I do (commiting, editing, etc.).
I built a macro that takes the output window and uses it to my own purpose.
Now I moved to SVN, and I use the VisualSVN as add-in to the Visual Studio. But there is no SVN add-in that writes to the VS' output window.
Is there anything that can help me do that?
Thanks,
Oded.
There is a plug-in named AnkhSVN available on Collabnet, is one of the best add-on for Visual Studio for SVN client.
It is available at http://ankhsvn.open.collab.net/
Tam Tam CVS seems to do exactly what you need:

The Eclipse IDE has a nice feature that automatically logs file revisions and you can view them anytime by right-clicking on a file and clicking on Compare With -> Local History....
Is there an equivalent to this in Visual Studio 2010?
Some more updated options:
Every save is stored in a git repository. You can use existing git tools to look at the history:
autogit
This extension provides a custom local history viewer:
Local History for Visual Studio
Local History for Visual Studio is similar to Eclipse or IntelliJ's local history feature. It works with Visual Studio 2012 and 2013.
There is not natively in Visual Studio but what about Visual Local History. It has the option to 'Compare with last version'. It should work well for VS 2005, 2008 and with some extra configuration for 2010.
There is not an equivalent feature for local history.
However, if you're using TFS, there is support in the IDE for getting history of files (though this is commited/checked history).
Many other version control systems also have plugins for Visual studio which provide this type of functionality. For example, VisualHG provides an "HG History" command which shows the version history in the Mercurial repository.
For Visual Studio 2015, 2017, 2019 VSHistory extension: maintains the history of files in your Visual Studio projects every time they are saved. Any saved version can be viewed or a diff with the current version can be displayed
i'm look for Git tool can be use with Visual Studio 2010?
But I yet to find any available tools, whether there is such a tool? How to use it?
Try the appropriately named Git Extensions. In addiition to providing add-ons for Visual Studio 2010 (and 2005 & 2008) integration it has a Windows Explorer extension and has a standalone GUI client.
In addition to GitExtensions, you can also get Git Source Control Provider that integrates into Visual Studio's Solution Explorer.
I am using Visual Studio Ultimate which come with TFS. However I am using Visual SVN as my source control.
I have installed VisualSVN server and the Visual Studio plug in.
What should I do to switch from TFS to Visual SVN.
When I go do Tools/Options/Source Control/Plug-in selection, I have the choice between "None" and TFS.
VisualSVN automatically "just works" when you open a SVN working copy - you don't need to mess with Visual Studio's SCC plugin settings. So you need to look at migrating your source code code into the SVN repository first. When you've done this, just check it out, open the solution and you're done. (You may want to remove all the "SccProjectName/SccProvider..." garbage from your project files beforehand)
To migrate your repository history from TFS to SVN, there's the TFS2SVN project (I've not used it though).
If you're not stuck on VisualSVN, try AnkhSVN. We use that here, and had no issues in getting it to work with VisualStudio 2010.
AnkhSVN is an open source plugin, so there's no need to pay for a license.
If VisualSVN is like AnkhSVN, you need to in tall VisualStudio first, then AnkhSVN. Then go into VisualStudio and select SVN in the Source Control Plug-in selection.
I have a website project that has been subversioned already. I have installed ankhsvn but when I open the website project in Visual Studio 2010 it doesn't show the version control icons in the Solution Explorer. Any idea why that might be?
Thanks
Did you enable AnkhSVN in Tools->Options->Source Control?
When it is the default SCC provider it should automatically detect that your (C# ?) website project is already in Subversion.
If you are using Express Versions of Visual Studio 2008/2010/2012, note that AnkhSVN does not work with Express versions. In my case (VS 2012) the solution above does not work because AnkhSVN is not available in Tools -> Options -> Source Control -> Plugin Selection. Express versions do not allow Addin.

This is an old question, but after installing Ankh I had to run
"d:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe" /setup
to get Ankh to show up in the source control plugin selection list. This seems to happen intermittently with new plugins.
I had a similar problem and got it fixed when I uninstalled and reinstalled AnkhSVN. Doing a repair wasn't enough.
I had the same problem. The only solution for me was to remove Registry keys explained in Visual Studio 2012 Extension Issues.
Is there a way of integrating Mercurial into Visual Studio 2005? We'd like to be able to do checkin's, see history, etc. directly from the IDE.

VisualHG which in turn needs TortoiseHG
