Enable Local History

Other IDEs have local history tracking. It's really useful for when something is almost right, but not ready to commit. Then a couple changes are made to try and finish it up. Turns out those changes make it worse. Depending on how big those changes were and how many files you touched it can be a nightmare. Local history makes it easy to rewind. This is especially useful for css/javascript where a small change can have a large impact.

        I would LOVE to have this as I am working on a new file that is not yet in TFS and have no way of getting back to an earlier version. I can not check it into TFS yet because it will have issues with other things.

        Local history feature is very important. as other editors such as eclipse, phpStorm etc support. Why not visual studio ?

        People can also make mistakes which can affect the source control, so this can be a real life saver.
