If I can add another perspective, I wouldn't mind a system where at
least TSVNCache fed info into (I think) TortoiseProc such that when you
went to commit, and had not selected a sufficient "root" of all changes
in your WC, that it would give you a warning of some sort.

In my company, people routinely don't commit at the root, because it can
take a few (3-5) minutes to scan the entire WC. This leads to incorrect
commits (which I would not personally describe as "corruption", but
that's a matter of opinion). Some also split things into multiple
commits because they see it as faster or easier or whatnot. Now this is
a training issue, but I hope that a future version of Subversion and
TortoiseSVN make it so quick to detect and commit all changes, that it
unarguably takes longer to make multiple commits than to commit from the
root.

For what it's worth, I suggested some things related to this in a
conversation at
http://subversion.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=1065&viewType=b
rowseAll&dsMessageId=1267185#messagefocus . Potentially some of them
will be in Subversion 1.7 or in the near term afterward. It would be
very nice if TortoiseSVN was optimized against whatever Subversion 1.7
may offer. Honestly, I wouldn't mind if TortoiseSVN could use its
TSVNCache data to let you commit everything that TSVNCache knows is
"dirty" rather than forcing the file scan.
