Re: [TSVN] request: command-line arg for log message for /command:commit

I started off doing things just on the command-line using svn, but my eyes
glazed over quickly; all the text looks the same, and it's easy to miss that I'm
going to add a file I don't want in the registry, or fail to add one I do. I
changed almost immediately from
        svn status
to
"%APR_ICONV_PATH%\..\tortoiseproc" /command:add /path:"%CD%" /notempfile

so TSVN pops up a window with any new files - *way* more noticable, and I
haven't since then added any files I didn't mean to.

Same with commit - it's another step for me to visually review what's going into
this particular commit, and a chance to stop things if there's something wrong.

Having TSVN show a window with checkboxes, and sorting by status really makes it
easy to see that things are happening properly - non-versioned files really
stand out (so I know I don't miss adding something important).

(btw, notice I used the APR_ICONV_PATH environment variable - I noticed you'll
be taking it out... aw, gee... :) I can always set my own though; no
problem... or put TSVN into the path...)

I'm rolling old backups into Subversion so I have the whole project history in
the repository.

I suppose I could "clean" the backups of unwanted files - most of them already
are cleaned of intermediate files, but there are occasionally old unused source
files or zips I left hanging around and I prefer not putting them into the
repository. Just me being picky... otherwise I could just automate it
entirely and not worry about the extraneous files. (in retrospect I may do
that for other projects - just add everything new from backup to backup; the
interaction of verifying things is getting annoying... :)
