changelist removal on commit

Hi,

There's one small issue I have with how changelists are kept/removed on
commits: currently, the changelist is only removed on a commit if the
commit is actually done on that particular changelist (and if the flag
is not set to keep the changelist).

But I think it would be better if after the commit, all affected files
have their changelists removed, no matter if the commit was done by
specifying a changelist or not.

This would make it more consistent. The '--keep-changelist' argument
wouldn't be dependent on the '--changelist ARG' parameter.

I'm having the following workflow in mind:
* user starts working on an issue, modifies files
* adds files to changelist
* tests issue, changes some more code, and one or more other files
* user forgets to add those to the changlist for that issue
* user commits files belonging to the issue, forgets about the
changelist set

now, the files (even though they're committed and now with status
'normal') still belong to the changelist the user set before. The next
time one of those files get modified, they will show up in the 'svn st
-v' with a changelist name the user might have completely forgotten by then.

And of course there's another reason which has to do on how TSVN made up
the UI for the changelists and how it does commits: The commits are
independent of changelist names - everything the user has selected gets
committed. TSVN only helps the user to group items into changelists
(i.e., add them to a changelist) and select the items by changelist. But
they're still committed without a changelist name.
I've changed TSVN now to include the changelist name if all selected
items belong to the same changelist. But if even one item is checked for
commit which doesn't belong to that changelist, the commit is done the
normal way and the changelist doesn't get removed after the commit.
We already had some users complain about this, because they just assume
that the changelists get removed from those files even if some other
files are committed too. They have a hard time understanding why that
doesn't happen.
