title: Is there a way to "View Pending Changes" in TFS from the Source Control View in VS 2010
body: <p>We have 3 branches: Main, Dev, Release.</p>
  
  <p>If I do my work in Dev, then want to merge the changes, I first Check-In my Dev project.  Then I go to the Source Control View and first merge Main into Dev (just in case), then check Dev in (again), then merge Dev into Main, then checkin Main (again).</p>
  
  <p>Without opening the main project, is there a way I can view the pending changes (say, view the pending changes on Main before I check it in the second time).  I don't think there should be any, but it would be nice to know exactly what is different with this checkin.</p>
  
  <p>I think this makes more sense from the first checkin of Main.  What if I accidentally opened the Main project one day and was mucking around? I might be checking in something I've forgotten about, and I can't seem to find a quick way to check this from the Source Control View.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
