When I updated to the latest version of TortoiseHg (0.9.1) I noticed that
the checkbox next to !:deleted seemed to have been removed, I assumed by
accident.

I just filed this bug
Issue 847: Commit dialog missing deleted checkbox under View 'MAR?!'
http://bitbucket.org/tortoisehg/stable/issue/847/commit-dialog-missing-deleted-checkbox-under-view

where I found out that the checkbox had actually been removed by design.

As I said in my final comment in that bug:

I do however disagree with the change. I find it very valuable to only
display 1 type of file at a time while looking over the modifications that
have happened. In general this means I want to see only the deleted files,
or only the unknown files.

I've been trying to use mercurial at work where we use ClearCase (yech) but
this means that I have a lot of changes to the repository at one time, and
it is very useful to isolate the type of files displayed.


Steve suggested that I start a discussion on the mailing list about
restoring that checkbox.

I'm curious to hear why some people thought it would be better not to let
users hide the deleted files from the list of all changes. I realize that it
is important to know that some files in the repository have been deleted
without being removed, but all the other categories of modified files are
also important and yet the options to hide them still exist. Mostly I really
like the option to look at any particular set w/o the others showing.

Thanks,

Mike
