RC?

You should update issue #409

http://subclipse.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=409

I have used this feature in TortoiseSVN. One of the reasons I did not
want to do it in Subclipse yet is that our solution is all done with modal
dialogs. The use-case that is generally put forth for this feature is
that people want to have a diff open so that they can use that to write
their commit message. So I was holding off for some kind of inspiration
as to how to solve the problem.

I did some testing and did find a few issues:

1) The compare dialog has a button labeled Commit. I think it should be
Save or OK.

2) I think it is a bad idea that the dialog allows stuff to be edited.
That could change the status of the item in terms of the commit dialog.
For example, what if you undo all of the changes in the compare dialog?

3) When I did edit something in the dialog, and clicked "Commit", which I
assume means save, I got an error, but no stack trace I can send you.
