I've put up a few screenshots [1] showing most of the features currently
supported by the add-in:

- A new top-level menu item, a tool-bar, and integration into context-
menus of the Solution Explorer (these are hidden if the solution is not
versioned)

- A 'commit' dialog which shows the current 'status' and allows to
select the files and folders to be committed, and to enter a commit
message

- A revision history ('log') dialog with options to view, compare and
tag revisions (not fully implemented yet)

- As of today, colourised display of 'diff' output

- A dialog to 'push', 'pull' and 'merge', which keeps a list of
remembered locations and provides an interface to add, edit and remove
locations

- For each operation, a progress indicating dialog is shown, presenting
bzr's output if anything goes wrong.

The add-in tracks all files being added, renamed and removed in a
solution. For example, if you add a new or existing file to your
solution, it also gets automatically 'add'ed to the branch (so the
solution always mirrors the contents of the branch).

It's quite impressive how much you can accomplish with just a few bzr
commands -- Bazaar really rocks! :)

What do you think of it?

Best regards,
Klaus
