Hard to say. It covers 3-8% of our commits; can be covered by "Final idea".
In fact that button may be in commit status dialog "return to commit
dialog".

found that just today ... as I wrote in "update".

I meant "create patch" in commit dialog. Like "Create patch" "Commit"
"Cancel", but "final idea" may be better

I know, all this are just simple ideas.
I thought about something like this:
1. "Create patch" is called from commit dialog where you can fill log
message, just instead of cimmit to server you commit to file. This may
be some kind o preparing for issue#66
2. we need to hack .patch to contain patch
3. after apply this patch in TSVN commit dialog opens so, comiter have
all prefilled can review patch and push "OK"

No a mean separate icon. Something like "changes in external from other
repositories" is now.

All paragraph till now was about "commit dialog". This one created after
I read some related mailing threads I'm talking about "Check for
modification" dialog as alternative (better) solution for all above.
In "Check for modification" dialog are no checkboxes and selection is
not preserved.
Almost all operations are implemented in "Check for modification"
dialog. What I miss there:
1. Checkbox "select for action" - like is in commit dialog.
2. filters for selection like in commit dialog
3. button(s) for actions "commit", "create patch", "undo"... (right
click would operate on selected files, while buttons on checked). This
can be one combo button (with icons of course :_ ); even "update"
4. log message edit
I fill this would be kind of advanced user mode, but is like SVN WC in
one window - ok, half of it.
As subject states it is kind of crazy, but would make SVN operate easier
(for me)
I don't know how worthy this is, but I shared my ideas.
