Yes - I went out of my way to find a screen in Windows which actually
did it properly instead of simply greying out the button :) I never
said Windows had a good UI :)

But I'll defend myself by saying that TortoiseSVN is *even less*
intuitive in this sense than a windows product code screen, because
windows ungreys the button when you enter any text in each box and then
gives you a proper dialog after you press OK saying that your product
code is incorrect. In tsvn you can type a log message but *still* the OK
button does not un-ghost because you haven't typed *enough* letters
yet... If it un-ghosted as soon as you enter *anything* then I probably
wouldn't have bothered posting, but I sat there for 5 minutes wondering
why it wouldn't let me commit (and so did a couple of others if you read
previous posts). I commented because I expect a few other hundred people
who aren't on this list to encounter the same confusion :)
