Personally I find all the line prefixing detracts from readability a
significant amount and I don't really see much of a reason for it to
be there. Is there some reason that subversion couldn't do what
perforce does? They've been popping up buffers in editors for several
years with this format and I've never heard a complaint. Also, with
perforce, if I remove a file from the listing below it doesn't get
committed with this changelist. I find it nice that if I do a commit
and then realize that I didn't actually want the change I made to
file5 to be part of this atomic commit I can easily change it at this
point. It's not immediately obvious to me how I would get this
behavior from the format above.
