Is there a way, with power tools or other extensions, to make it so that the changeset number is be displayed on an alert?
Currently it displays on the status bar, but disappears after a while, or at least make this more prominent?
Output from TFS commands shows up in Visual Studio's Output window, but you need to change the "Show output from" dropdown to "Source Control - Team Foundation". Check-ins will produce output like:
Changeset 1234567 successfully checked in.
