It is true that there are no options hungs off working sets, and in some
cases it could be convenient to have such options. However, it is not
correct to think that having such options would allow you to do an atomic
commit across several projects. That is a Subversion API issue. We
already support doing this if you select multiple projects and use the
Commit option, provided that you are using JavaSVN as your client
interface. The native Subversion libraries do not support atomic commits
unless all of the projects are beneath a common working copy folder, and
Subclipse doesn't support it even in that scenario as there is no
realistic way to check that.
