I do not understand this answer. You seem to be saying that you
consider the current behavior a bug that has been fixed? I know in
Subclipse we rely on the current behavior and if it has changed then
it is going to be a problem. Specifically, I am referring to a WC
where you have externals that come from the same repository. In
Subclipse, we are able to commit all these changes in a single atomic
commit and that is what users want. If we cannot do this any more we
are going to get lots of complaints.

This is another must-have for Subclipse. We currently have a hack in
place that we use to make this work. If the hack does not work with
1.7 ( have not tried it ) then we will get a ton of complaints about
this.
