Hi,
I wonder if someone could tell me the advantages of using EFS API in
Team/CVS plugin? Also, if there are common facilities in Team API and UI
that directly support EFS, so 3rd party EFS implementors would work
there out of the box?
Thanks
Eugene

Eugene,
There are two ways for a repository provider to use EFS
1) They could use EFS to provide access to remote state to clients
2) They can provide the EFS use by the Workspace (IResource) to gain
more control over the local coy file area.
In the Team/CVS plug-in, we implemented an EFS of the first type so I
assume that is what you are referring to. We did this mostly as a proof
of concept for EFS. As Ed pointed out, this could potentially help out
clients but, in the CVS case, it doesn't work well since there is no
easy way to access past configurations (i.e. a previous state of the
file system).
As for your second questions, I'm not really sure what you are asking
but I suspect the answer is no. That is, we don't don't offer much in
the way of EFS specific facilities.
