Bazaar (bzr) integration with Visual Studio

What's the best way to use Bazaar (bzr) as the version control system in Visual Studio 2008?

From stackoverflow
  • The best I found is TortoiseBZR and the command-line - nothing integrated with VS.

  • I wouldn't even bother with TortoiseBZR; bzr is very easy to use from the command line.

    BTW: The last time I tried it, TortoiseBZR used to lock up windows explorer while it went off to a remote repository to determine the status of files, not sure if it still does this ... ? See also this SO question.

  • There's a project in Launchpad, but it looks like it's abandoned, and when I downloaded it, I couldn't get it to build.

    This is something I'm interested in myself. Tracking adds, drops and renames automatically in an IDE is the way to go. Seeing status is nice too.

    bialix : http://bazaar-vcs.org/VisualStudioIntegration -- there explained how to get it working.
    Darcy Casselman : Yeah. Klaus updated it recently with build instructions for VS2008. It builds for me now, but I haven't got it working. I'm still poking at it in my copious free time.
  • There is no native integration to Visual Studio, but there is good GUI application, called Bazaar Explorer. It's the part of official standalone installer, and also can be installed separately as bzr plugin.
