Unfortunately there was no MSVS Plugin found which works to my needs. So I decided to create my own one. It is based on Mercurial and TortoiseHg's HGTK library, which covers many of the UI components - thx for that cool stuff!! So, if you want to check out VisualHG, you have to install TortoiseHg first and then VisualHG. After that you will have a well working solution integrated into Windows Explorer and MSVS 2008.
