I'm evaluating Visual Studio Add-ins for Mercurial. Currently, I've identified 3 potential candidates :
I'm looking for a comparison of features or capabilities.
Features that are important to me are: a tool that integrate well with VS, Open Source, actively developed, and robust.
Well, let's compare the details of development:
It appears [from skimming some text] that HgSccPackage has its own windows for graph logs and whatnot.
VisualHg on the other hand is more of a supplement to TortoiseHg. Many of the menu commands for VisualHg will open TortoiseHg windows. If you use TortoiseHg's UI, this consistency may be preferrable. From the screenshot I saw for HgSccPackage, you may find VisualHg's status icons more standard, as well.
Since you have only 2 choices, it really doesn't take much to try both and see which you prefer.
I have VisualHg installed, but tend to use TortoiseHg's Workbench more than VisualHg. VisualHg stays in use mainly for its automatic add
, remove
, rename
, etc.
