The Branch Visualization extension, created by Mikael Krief, Michel Perfetti and Niel Zeeman, allows you to visualize your Team Foundation Version Control (TFVC) branches for your current project. The latest revision includes these innovations:

  • Style inspired on the Visual Studio branch hierarchy style

  • By default, the dialog only shows the hierarchy related to the selected file
  • All branches expect root branches have rounded borders
  • Fix for history computation bug after M97 deployment

    Good work! Really looking forward to the on-prem version, do we really have to wait another 89 years :(

      We corrected the documented on-prem TFS version to reduce the wait :)
