RE: [Subclipse-users] Show change sets issue

The incident came up because my coworker did a synchronize and didn't
see the comments for a "middle" change. I had deliberately gone out of
my way to do two commits, so I could effectively annotate the changes
separately (because they weren't related, so atomic wasn't needed). But
I was disappointed that you don't see this in the synchronize view.
Obviously if you have the history view open, and happened to know there
were multiple changes grouped together, you would have seen it there.

Ignoring the performance issue for the sake of discussion, I was hoping
to see them broken out primarily so I could review the notes with the
changes, not so much as a mechanism to do partial updating, although I
realize that's another feature of the view. To your question about
update, the behavior you described is what I would have expected. But I
could see intermediate updates being disallowed, or potentially showing
a warning if that seemed necessary.

It's been several years since I used CVS in Eclipse, so I don't think
that's what I was thinking of. Perhaps I just never realized this was
happening. The current behavior just felt non-intuitive - like the IDE
was trying to hide something from me. This "hiding"/"grouping" behavior
also seems to happen when there are conflicts and changes on a file.
Annoyingly enough, when you have a multi-module Maven project, files and
folders are constantly being marked as conflicts (erroneously). I doubt
there's anything I could do to prevent that. So these days, "show change
set" has often become "show some of the changes."

I cannot see doing it.

There is a performance issue. SVN only gives us the most recent
revision, so we would also have to run svn log to get all the revisions.

The main thing is that the behavior would not be right or intuitive.
Suppose a file has been changed 4-5 times and we show them all. It is
not like SVN allows you to pull in one of those middle changes without
also pulling in all the previous work. When you choose to update, it is
going to grab everything up to that revision. Is that what would be
expected?

I also seem to recall we discussed this when the feature was added and
the way it is done is the same way the CVS plugin was doing it at that
time. Perhaps they have since changed, I do not know.
