It is definitely useful/desirable to be able to see both the to-be- committed and to-be-shelved chunks in situ side by side. Maybe a "hide shelved" and "hide commitable" (names are hard) check boxes? Of course as soon as anything is hidden/folded, there is a danger that the user will forget and commit the wrong thing. If there were a way to 'rollback' and try again, that would probably not be too bad. I guess I'd prefer not to have multiple panes. folding or hiding seems like the right thing instead. strike-through really depends on the font, etc. would the strike through hide/obscure a hyphen/dash? kdiff3 uses configurable colors for these kinds of things... as well as buttons to control showing the entire file or just the differing areas. Maybe it has other options to consider? --Doug ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword _______________________________________________ Tortoisehg-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/tortoisehg-discuss
