Get Latest on Check Out

One of VSTS source control features that is hard to explain to clients that are used to VSS is a new Check Out behavior. In VSTS (in opposite to VSS) Check Out action does not perform Get Latest Version. Such a behavior is very useful in some scenarios, but is very annoying in others (for example when team members use exclusive check out). Following users feedback, Get Latest on Check Out feature planned for the next VSTS release. It will allow us to configure VSTS to mimic previous VSS behavior (automatically get latest version before checking files out).

Is there any way to do this today? Like setting up a custom rule? One of our dev teams doesn't want to move away from source safe until this is changed. Can't say that I blame them.
