Well, if I were looking for a way to undo an accidental
commit (which must be the purpose of such a specialized
feature), I would not be certain that it does precisely
what I wanted.
Unless I'm wrong... Shouldn't it just be named after its
purpose? "Reverse accidental commit...", which would
BRING UP A DIALOG where you can choose the optional
"add to ignore list" checkbox. Maybe a checkbox for
"delete local copy" too. Why not? At least that
communicates to the user that the file is safe if
if there's no check-mark.
It does add one step, BUT I think that's a Good Thing.
IMO, anything that is going to operate directly on the
repo should have a some form of confirmation. Look at
the "Add" command, for example. It's doing perhaps the
MOST HARMLESS thing you can do with TSVN (aside from
the strictly read-only stuff), because all it's going
to do is just SCHEDULE the add / commit. You're still
going to get another chance to catch a mistake when
you commit the changes.
A bit of a b r o a d chasm for one tool, don't you
think?
