Unfortunately, this is also one of my biggest pain points with
TSVN. Plenty of times I've found myself needing to commit my
work in various stages only to get frustrated by the continous
closing commit dialog.
I understand the technical issues you mentioned above but would it
be possible to do something like the following:
1) Add a refresh button to the commit screen.
2) After committing a selected list of items, if you're incapable of
automatically detecting what the status is, can you leave them in
the list with a status of "unknown due to previous commit" or
something like that? Then if someone wanted to, they could hit
the refresh button from #1 or go on and select the other items
they want.
Just throwing some ideas out there.
Another possible solution that would at least solve my problem would be
that after committing the selected list of files, if there was a way
to configure TSVN to automatically re-open the commit dialog (doing
another status of course) so that I get that window back again.
Obviously, since it's just re-running a status again, it won't help
the original poster (since they're looking for a faster way of doing
things) but for me it's more of a workflow thing.
Right now I'll make a bunch of changes, right-click at the root of
my working copy and choose commit. Select a subset of the files that
need to be committed and commit them. I then have to right-click
again and choose commit, do another subset of files and commit them.
Wash, rinse, repeat as many times as necessary. To be able to get a
way for that commit window to automatically reopen would be a huge
gain for me.
Anyway, thanks for hearing me out.

For me though, giving us the ability to automatically bring up the
commit dialog again after committing some
