SCC Dispatcher - Transparent SCC Provider Switcher

SCC Dispatcher - transparent SCC providers switcher

"SCC Dispatcher is a program that transparently switches different SCC API providers. Maybe you know or even use the SCC Switcher utility, which is delivered with distribution packages of SCC Proxy products. SCC Switcher is a nice registry modification tool, which requires restart of the IDE to apply changes. In contrast to SCC Switcher, SCC Dispatcher is a tiny SCC API proxy, which enables switching on SCC API level. It initializes multiple providers in parallel and then, after it determines which provider is really needed, redirects all communications to that provider. This allows implementation of transparent switching. In other words, you don't have to check which provider is active now. You can just launch the IDE and open the project. SCC Dispatcher will automatically choose the correct provider for you. ..."

Now that's cool... Great idea.

I'd rather be able to set the source control provider at the project level, but this looks like the next best thing.

Instead of switching SCC provider before launching VS (say via SCC Switcher), SCC Dispacther, acting as a proxy, will let you change providers at runtime.

If you have a couple SCC providers (VSS & TS & Vault & SVN, etc) then this is something you might want to take a look at...
