Using the editing process - merges - commit in TFS Source Control

Question

I have been using sourcegear repository and subversion / visual svn for a long time, and I am a big fan of the disabled CVS style. "Edit -> Merge -> Commit" is a way to use source control.

Since we switched to TFS 2010, I have returned to the terrible "checkout → edit → checkin". This means that only one user can work with a file at any time.

I can not find anything that suggests that this can be changed.

Is it possible?

Answer 1

Payouts in TFS are usually not exclusive. By default, multiple users can scan a single file. Exceptions are binary file types, such as JPG, PNG, etc., which are downloaded exclusively by default.

Once you are ready to commit your changes, you can use the pending changes tool window to check for conflicts and merge if necessary.
