Support for asynchronous package loading

[csoltenborn]

Thanks for your extension - just what we needed to access our file history after switching from TFS-VC to TFS-Git!

However, you need to change your extension such that it supports asynchronous package loading - otherwise, it will not be supported by VS2019 in the near future. Since I'm an extension developer myself, I can provide some helpful links:

• MS blog entry announcing the requirement
• commit of my extension realizing async package loading (Note that this is backwards compatible down to VS2013 - only supporting later versions is easier)
• migration guide for VS2015 and later

Any chance that this is going to happen in the foreseeable future? Or is this project dead?

Let me phrase it differently: If I provide an according pull request, will you release it within a couple of days? I'm not going to do the work for a dead project...
