Hi
For me, it's about the development cycle, and part of that cycle is
describing the changes I'm going to commit. The projects I work on are
pretty rigorous about this, and I know many developers are facing that.
That's why I'd like to have better support for this part of the cycle
than what's present in the current commit dialog, such as generated
description of structural changes and other things. For this, the modal
commit dialog is not really useful, I'm imagining a "notes view" that
allows me to review my patch and write notes about each changed
resources, which could then be compiled at commit time.
There could be a place for both resource specific notes and general
commit notes.
The view could be standard in the synch perspective. I'll make an
experimental version one day. This could even tie in with changesets,
and thus probably be better placed in the Eclipse Team support side of
things, so I'll post it there.

The CVS integration doesn't solve this either, not even in 3.2. So
there's still room for improvement. I'll have a look at Mylar and see
that it adds to the picture.
