Why doesn't Visual Studio use a 64-bit scm.exe?
We have a number of very large files and the Visual Studio 2012 RTC 4.0.4 plug-in cannot cope with them, so we have all had to install Eclipse with RTC to download these files. We also had to modify the eclipse.ini file to set the heap to a huge value.
Adjusting the scm.ini file heap size used by the scm.exe that Visual Studio uses does not help because it is a 32-bit program. Why doesn't Visual Studio use a 64-bit scm.exe?

I don't know if this helps but have you looked into the SCM folder under "C:\Program Files\IBM\Rational Team Concert Client for Microsoft Visual Studio IDE\3rd Party\scmtools\eclipse" ? There is scm.ini and perhaps you can define the Heap value for VS Client. I have never tested this though
Looking at the team concert logs, IBM is initializing a SCM Deamon.
If my understanding is correct, in the back-end for VS client, IBM uses SCM Tools to do the talk to RTC
I may be wrong though but just a suggestion
