<file:///C:/eclipse-3.2.1/eclipse.ini>I would be interested to hear what
others think. Personally, I am very much against it. It violates the
push/pull philosophy of Subversion as expressed here in the Subversion book
(look for the heading "Updates and Commits are Separate"):
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.2/svn.basic.in-action.html#svn.basic.in-action.mixedrevs.update-commit
I think there are plenty of negatives that can come from it, namely that
other changes have been committed since you initiated the Synchronize, and
now you receive unexpected updates in your working copy. The other issue is
that you would not have an obvious "target" for the update command.
Meaning, I do not think you could just update the project root, and if not
that, then what would you choose to update? Updating the files that were
committed would not be of any value, and if you do not update to the project
root, then you haven't accomplished what seems to be the goal in doing this
in the first place.
Thanks
