[Subclipse-users] Improving the Branch/Tag Process (was: What is Tags column on Resource History used for?)

Let me rephrase this to see if I understand:

1) Select more than one project in say the Navigator view or Package
Explorer --- Eclipse view. I think we can do this conditioning right in
the option contribution to the menu.

2) Find common parent URL of selections. If none exists probably issue
an error message.

I am going to change your script at this point to reflect what I would
actually consider doing.

3) Bring up Create tag dialog based on this common parent URL.

4) If tag is created, for each of the selected projects update the
subclipse:tags property if it is present.

I will not even consider doing any "commits" as part of this process, so I
left that out. User would have to commit any subclipse:tags property
changes after the tag is created.

Setting aside the parts we disagree on, would you say that this is what
you are suggesting? Essentially creating a tag based on the common parent
of the selections?

Thanks

Mark
