The "check for modification" dialog can do that. If you
commit from there, most times you will discover outdated
paths if there are any.
But there are two problems with checking beforehand.
First, it can take quite some time to get the every
path to commit and second, the is still a small chance
some other user committed between your check and your
actual commit.
In fact, the first phase of a commit transaction (before
the "Sending" lines) already performs that out-of-dateness
check but also prevents other committers to modify the
same paths while you are committing.

Implemented in r17466.
It still feels like a lot of clicking is required to
acknowledge every step of the workflow. "auto-close if
no errors" only saves one click here.
