I'm using TortoiseSVN for some time now for my "big" project, and I have
found it quite useful. First of all - you have done a great job. I
acctually have found myself speding time reading all the logs in a
certain repository and checking differencies in every commit just
because I just like seeing TortoiseSVN and TortoiseMerge on my screen.
Still, there is an idea, that came over me one night about 3AM. Recently
I've made some huge improvements on my project. I've added some
libraries and tools that came with a great deal of source code and a lot
of temporary directories that I use for checking and testing them. All
this, including the files in my data folder, that are quite big and
still very testy to be added in the repository, have made a hell of a
mess. I've found that I need around 10 minutes to select all the
unversioned and modified files that I just need to make one commit. And
unfortunately I simply can't ignore all the others, because they are a
part of my project, even if at this stage of development they don't
compile or don't work at all (and I hate commiting non-working stuff on
my repository). Finally I was almost forced to add them non-working to
my repository just to clean up my TortoiseSVN commit dialog.
And the next thing that came to my mind was the repository browser. This
is a very helpful tool to get around in a repository (another great job,
still needs a little tweking, I'll maybe post a thread about that later
today) and it will be very helpful if it replaces the standart checkout
file picker. It'll certanly make my life a lot easier if I can select
just the directories I need to commit, remove all the subfolders where
my temporary files are and voila! With a few clicks I'm done, while with
the current checkout picker it'll take me several minutes picking every
single file.
So, the simple request is to add a tree view in the commit dialog file
picker and the ability to select/diselect all the files in a certain
directory (inclusing their subdirectories of cource).
