Good clarification, Julian. I'd want a 'status' variation specific to
changelists (plural, *or* specific to a single list) to show all
members of a changelist (modified or otherwise).
While vanilla 'svn status' doesn't usually show unmodified files, I
lean towards a file which is "unmodified, but part of a changelist"
showing up, mostly on the basis that we might be able to keep the
command list smaller (see below).
Here's the possibilities discussed above:
------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
COMMAND | SHOWS CHANGELISTS/MEMBERS?
------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
svn status | All lists. All members, including unmodified?
------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
svn status --changelist | All lists. All members, including unmodified.
| Redundant with vanilla status it includes
| unmodified members.
------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
svn status \ | Single list. All members, including unmodified.
--changelist my-list |
------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
