Getting Started with Source Control VSPackages

A source-control VSPackage is a more advanced alternative to the source control plug-in. (See Creating a Source Control Plug-in for more information on source control plug-ins.) A source-control VSPackage enables complete control over the source control model, features, and user interface (UI), and it integrates into the Visual Studio environment as a VSPackage.
