Re: [TSVN] Please suggest button name

Sorry for answering so late, but I was busy otherwise.

So far, the suggestions were:
- Insert Status
- List Changes
- Paste Changes
- Paste Status Template

There were also some suggestions for a different approach:
- a combobox containing the last entered log messages like TCVS has
- No button, but doing it from the context menu

Now, I don't think that a combobox is the right thing to do. I admit I
hate that thing in TCVS. It lures people to write common log messages
which they can then easily reuse (too lazy to type!). And that's worse
than no log message.
This combo kind of makes sense for CVS, where each file gets committed
"separately" - that way you can reuse the last logmessage for each file
you commit and which belongs to the same change. But for SVN, this
doesn't apply at all since all changes of all files are tied together in
one revision.

So I'm sticking with "Paste Status Template" for the button text for now.
