WinCVS always had this feature, and everyone in our office is using it to
review all code changes before a commit. We use Araxis Merge as our diffing
tool and it supports very well multiple command line calls, opening a new
comparison tab per file in a single window instead of opening a new window
for each file.

If I changed twenty files I would have to double-click on each ones to
review all code changes instead of only a few clicks with the new feature.
Select the files, right click to pop the context menu, click on the Diff
item, and that's it.

You're right. Again, this is a feature of WinCVS that I'd like to see in
TortoiseSVN, but not as much as the previous one.

I'm not asking for new tools, but for ease-of-use improvements. I do not
think that these improvements are that hard to implement and would improve
our day to day work a lot. Once you get used to review all code changes
before a commit, it is very hard to stop doing it, or having to click forty
times to do it when it only took a few clicks before.
Cheers,
