It's not possible to detect that case with the current design for
changelists that Ben has put forth. If membership in a changelist is
controlled by a property of some sort on the file, you have no way to
determine that you've got all of the members of the list in a commit.
What if a file in another part of the working copy (a sibling of the
root dir you passed to 'commit') is in the changelist?
