IDM Designer currently has integration with Subversion. Would like to see it also support Team Foundation Server.
Who would want this: Any company that is moving to TFS, or teams that are more comfortable with TFS over Subversion
Why is it valuable: It provides options for your customers
How would it be used: Just like subversion
How it differs? I did not see an existing idea "like" this

Would a better option be to use file system based integration so that file could be consumed by any tool, TFS, Subversion, etc...?
If you use file system integration, I don't think the check in process will "describe" which policies you're checking in or pulling down.
Being able to see the names of the files: e.g. 34JJKUPX.xml wouldn't be helpful to "understand" the changes in the repository. Also, comparison version history for a policy is exceedingly more complicated.
If those features would be available with the filesystem based integration, I think that would be workable.
