Setting up a development environment

Download and install Visual Studio SDK

For the 2010 version go here

Git Checkout

Clone the Git-Source-Control-Provider and checkout the master branch for vs2010.

Edit project properties

Edit properties for project BasicSccProvider.

Go the the "Debug" tab and modify the "Start Action" to start Visual Studio. ( C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe ) in my case.

Also change the "Command line arguments" to: "/rootsuffix Exp"

Done

When you press F5 a "Experimental instance" of Visual Studio will start up with the freshly compiled plugin enabled. You'll still need to select it in the "Source Control - Plug-In Selection" options screen. Just like you would when you'd install the plugin in the real Visual Studio.
