I am used to PCL-CVS: when I do something in the *cvs* buffer, it
applies to the selection, or, absent selection, to the CURRENT file, and
it also auto-updates the *cvs* buffer when the operation is over so that
I see the new state right away.
DVC is different: when I do something in the *status* buffer, it applies
to the selection, or, absent selection, TO THE WHOLE REPOSITORY!!!, and
it does **NOT*** auto-update the status buffer after the operation.
So, a very common situation for me is that I want to commit a single
file, so I position the cursor on it in the *status* buffer, hit "c" and
then nobody tells me that the 50 files have been committed!!
So I run to the shell and type "hg rollback", hit "g" in *status*, sigh
with relief, SELECT the file, hit "c" -- and now I have to type the
commit message all over again!!!
So, what I want is
-- by default, an operation in the *status* buffer applies to the file
under cursor only, not the whole repository.
this can be implemented as a user option
dvc-status-no-selection-action which can have 3 values:
== 'repository (current DVC behavior)
== 'current-file (PCL-CVS behavior)
== 'error (signal an error "no selection")
-- after the operation is finished, the *status* buffer should be
updated (I can probably do this in xhg-commit-done-hook, but there
are other operations - like add and remove - which lack the hook).
also, similar to PCL-CVS, it would be nice to see the actual
shell command currently running (at the top of the buffer) as well as
all the previous commands (somewhere in the bottom of the buffer)
-- the log message buffer contents should not be discarded if the user
variable vc-delete-logbuf-window is nil.
so...
what do people think?
