Doesn't msbuild build it? We have our projects set up with VS 
too, and it's built by msbuild just fine in a single command. In 
fact one of our developers builds the solution from command line 
too and he uses CLI TFS cilent.

TFS is also a bug tracker integrated with source control, like 
Fossil.

It shows commit history as a tree for me with branches where they 
came from.
