@ethomson Any word on this long standing feature request with the rebranding - read the comment on the request, a simple update would be super helpful. https://visualstudio.uservoice.com/forums/330519-visual-stud...
This is not an area of the product that I work on, so I don't know what the status is. Let me look into it.
Still no Mercurial. yawn Really sucks to see Microsoft giving up on us Hg users, considering it was the only viable DVCS on windows for years until people finally got git working with a bunch of issues.
Considering how comparatively rare it is, it's unlikely to ever be supported natively. Microsoft has invested a lot into git and now uses it for the Windows codebase, which is the largest repo by several magnitudes.
I've somehow managed to work at 3 companies in a row that use Hg. I don't think it's rare at all, or maybe I'm a statistical anamoly.
