It's also one of the only things Cornerstone does better than Versions UI-wise.

Re: Removing files from commit list
I totally agree. I write mostly Java at work, and the deep package hierarchies lead to lots of folders and few files being changed. Additionally, command-clicking to (de)select works, but doesn't scale so well when it's hard to tell whether a file is 7 or 8 levels deep, if 2 that are 10-20 rows apart are on the same level, etc. (Even in changed view, which is my usual mode as well.) Also, if you want to commit everything in a hierarchy except one file, it's a pain to select everything but. I'm not lazy, but it's a lot of work, and Noah is correct that one mis-click can cause you to start over. Right now, the selection mechanism is essentially equivalent to providing all the path names you want to commit on the command line. Obviously, that model works, but it doesn't scale near as well, and a GUI should make things easier than Terminal, not "as easy as". There are certainly higher-priority features, but this one would be quite nice. I'm of the opinion that Versions should make SVN commits at least as easy the Eclipse plugins. After all, Eclipse isn't exactly the paramount of simplicity and usability — it's key strengths are flexibility and extensibility.

Sure it exists, but it's not ideal for large repositories. I work in the "changed" view all the time because it reduce the view, however, the folder structure we have means a lot of noise around the change set.

What's wrong with only viewing the changed files and then using a combination of selections and deselections? It seems to me that you are asking for something that already exists.

Re: Removing files from commit list
This would be very helpful since hunting down individual files to commit in the UI with a large repository is not so user friendly, especially if you mis-click and loose all your previous selections.

Re: Removing files from commit list
+1 This would be quite nice. In Eclipse, the Subversive plugin puts a checkmark by each item to select whether it should be part of the commit. The trick (as always) is how best to provide the desired functionality in a tasteful and useful way, not just spewing information all over the screen and making the user sort through it. :-) - Quinn On Oct 12, 2009, at 7:23 PM, ChopperDog wrote: First let me say I really like Versions.

There might be 50 changed files over 30 directories, but maybe I only need to commit 35 of the files.
