Thanks again for the pointer. I did now have a chance to test qcommit
under life conditions.

Since I don't know, where the "file comments" go, I started with gcommit
first (which I'm used to). I entered a revision coment and a couple of
file comments, cancelled with saved comments, and started qcommit.

I didn't find any comment. :( The saving of comments between runs of a
commit tool is vital for me. So I can't use qcommit at this point in time.

OTOH, I am happy about many improvements over gcommit:

- qcommit remembers its geometry, at least the window size
  (I would even more prefer size+position).
- qcommit provides a bunch of options in a context menu to every file.
- There may be a lot more, which I haven't detected yet. E.g. I've
  not yet seen any contests in the "status" tab, so I don't know,
  what it is good for.

Disadvantages:

- Doesn't load saved comments from [incomplete] preceding [un]commits.
- Doesn't automatically show file differences. Needs one extra click per
  file. Perhaps this could be added as an option. The gcommit window
  layout is very convenient to use to me. I like to see the differences
  when writing the comments to each file.
- Doesn't remember the check in "show unversioned".
- Diff doesn't remember the diff type radio box setting.

Suggestions:

- To the file context menu, please add "remove" and "ignore" options.
- Please provide some doc that explains each element on the windows.
  E.g. I can only guess that "fixed bugs" contains, what gcommit has
  as per-file comments. But I don't understand, why it needs a check
  box. If the doc is there already, please add a link to
  http://bazaar-vcs.org/QBzr

Ingo
