Re: atomic commit of multi-folder changes vs. gui

You could also "mark" files (which could possibly be summarized into a
separate window), and then apply the action to all marked files. Possibly
drag&drop files to the "multiple action / marked" window.

sumtin like that :-)

This means that when I make a number of changes, then I need to go to all the folders separately and commit at least once per folder. The only other way would be to select a common root folder and cvs commit there, but that might include files that I did not want to include.
