I'm the only programmer developing one of the projects I'm on, but
quite often I'll attempt a commit and TSVN will spit back a "working
directory is out of date, please do an update first" sort of message.
This seems kind of silly to me as I know that no one has made changes
to the files involved, but oh well. I do an update and then a
recommit.
Yes, it's not a big deal to do an update and recommit (especially
since TSVN saves log messages), but considering how often this
happens, wouldn't it be a good idea for TSVN to actually look for this
error specifically? Instead of just returning the error and dumping it
all back on me, TSVN could just pop up a dialog saying "TSVN needs to
do an update first. Update now?" The user could click OK or Cancel. On
OK, TSVN would do an update of the appropriate directory and then if
no new conflicts were found, pop up a second dialog saying, "Update
complete... Try the commit again?"
Or, hell, just assume "yes" at that point and do the commit again with
the log message the user already entered. If conflicts were found,
just pop up an informational dialog so the user knows why the commit
wasn't retried.
Thanks for listening, and I hope to see this added some day. Keep up
the great work,
