[Thus spake Nick Sabalausky ("NS: ") Yesterday...]

NS: >This is precisely what the "Cancel" button is for: "Hey, where's all the

NS:
NS: There is absolutely no reason why I should have to babysit TSVN when all I
NS: want to do is "Commit all changes in the entire WC". Which actually leads me
NS: to yet another alternate suggestion that'll most likely just get completely
NS: dismissed: "SVN Commit Entire Working Copy...".

Which Working Copy? What if you have two based in the same spot (I work
this way)? Should it check in both of them?

NS:
NS: "rm" is notorious for having a bad interface, even by Unix standards.

You're dodging my question. Read it again.
