OP (12/05/2015) - Now I use standard VS git tools and for change tracking great Git Diff Margin extension. I use it with VS2013 and 2015 and it works very well

Git Diff Margin

Works great for me as well!

Problem

Is it possible to set up Visual Studio (2010) for tracking changes (left color symbols) not from last file open state, but from source control commited state? This is how netbeans works and it is really great feature, especially reverting text block from editor by right click... Visual Studio default tracking mode is not much useful. EDIT 1: Something like this way: EDIT 2: Now it works with latest Git Source Control Provider (http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/63a7e40d-4d71-4fbb-a23b-d262124b8f4c) extension. Good job, extension developers. Left bar is standard visual studio tracker, right bar is tracker tracking changes against last commit. See picture: EDIT 3 (12/05/2015): Now I use standard VS git tools and for change tracking great `Git Diff Margin` extension. I use it with VS2013 and 2015 and it works very well. See:
