RE: RE: Commit multiple files from different folders

You might want to check out xplorer2. It has some pretty nice and fast search options (including with tortoise, svn status).

Hi Robert

Thank you very much for taking the time to write such a thoughtful reply. I had a pretty good go at trying to come up with useful searches, your suggestion of using date ranges was very helpful, but no real success.

However, Stefan Küng points out, "In 1.4.0, you can drag files on to the commit dialog." I will have to see if we can upgrade.

Cheers
JamesR

Are you *sure* it is that bleak? We are just talking about using XP
Search with a pattern of, say *.cpp and checking the option box for
"modified in the past month" (for example)... then you visually key
off of the appropriate [modified] icon overlay in the result set when
you select the files of interest.

Since it isn't like the file *data* is being transmitted over the wire
(at worst it should be the dir entries), how bad can it be? Try a few
of these queries and see, since you are the one with the working copy
on the network drive... ;)

As for how much data is being transmitted, I haven't looked at the
file sharing protocols involved, but I would hope that the file server
would be able to do the name-pattern comparison and only send back the
  matching entries.
