If you happen to be using subversion, I have created a csharp post review app that integrates into explorer nicely. I'll open source it soon as I get a chance to clean the code up and stub out future vc functionality. You can try the binary out by downloading from blog.bennyland.com. (I'd give you the exact link but I'm on my phone right now.. It's one of the last 3 posts though)
