   Synch is not only for previewing updates (including details/diff for
every changed file), but also to have aggregated view of outgoing
changes, so you can actually see what you about to commit. In my
experience it is reducing risks of accident commits and forgotten
commits, especially for very large projects/modules.

   Unfortunately Subclipse's Synch view is not yet provide the same
functionality as original Eclipse CVS Synch, but it is gotten better,
thank you Mark.
