Re: [Subclipse-users] Reverting changes: What is revert and what does replace with do?

i just made a patch for that where revert does als revert/delete all none
committed files.
But revert doesn't do replace with latest because replace with latest is a
revert and an update at once.
But my path that i have now at:
http://subclipse.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=485

doesn't do that also with replace with latest yet. Because that did go
through the same kind of code i patched.
But because also another co developer asked the same thing as you did i also
did patch the replace with latest behaviour so
that now revert and replace with both delete uncommitted files and replace
does also an update after it reverted.

Handling new files is just a bit strange in subclipse/svn (don't know which
one i really have to blame)
(regarding to patches or making branches directly of the working copy..
I will try if i can make that a bit easier.
