Hello!

Developer works on x number of filesand is ready to checkin.

Before he checks it in, an approver has to approve his changes. He is not actually going through each and every file and checking for changes, but kind of getting an overview what has been changed. Once the approval is obtained, developer can checkin his changes.

I tried enabling the check-in notes, but this is only on the developer's end where it's just enough to enter comments in the code-reviewr section.

How can we acheive this in tfs without having to use the shelving\unshelving process?

Thanks!

There is a project underway on CodePlex to provide this very functionality:
