Is there a way to use the Visual Studio 2010-style Pending Changes / Team Explorer in Visual Studio 2012?

tfs, visual-studio, visual-studio-2012

Solution

Create a new external tool (tools -> external tools)

Command: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\tf.exe

Argument: checkin

Initial Directory: $(SolutionDir)

Use Output Window Unticked (dialog doesn't seem to popup if this is on)

Problem

The Team Explorer / Pending Changes in VS 2012 is horrible. Is there a way to bring back the VS 2010 Pending Changes window? Even a good standalone TFS client will do.
