TFS Get Latest without readonly flags

Is there a way to configure TFS not to mark all files as read only when the "Get Last" command is executed? Maybe there is a special plugin or something that can be done? Monumentally annoying is the need to manually clear these flags when the need arises.

Outside the box, there is no way to configure TFS to not mark all files as read only during the Get Latest Version action.

As you probably know, this can be done as a second separate step in the TFS build template by configuring or using the tf edit command from the command line.

A good publication on the internal workings of the TFS Get team is available at: http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/243654/TFS-Get-Latest-VS-Get-Specific-Version . The same post also gives recommendations on writing a tool yourself that can use the TFS API. Of course, you can do whatever you want, in this case.
