<div> </div>
<div>I was absolutely sure that there is an option "Warn on empty comments" in the settings dialog.</div>
<div>I mean, it's such a necessary thing, I expected the authors would add it just for their own benefit.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Boy, was I surprised to discover that it doesn't exist. I couldn't beleive it. So many users of TortoiseSVN,</div>
<div>even the authors themselves must be using the software, and it still doesn't have this basic functionality?</div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="line-height: 1.6em;">Yes, I know, there's a pre-commit hook where you can add your own script. But that is for more complex</span></div>
<div><span style="line-height: 1.6em;">or rare things, specific for each user. Enforcing comments is basic functionality in larger teams, where </span></div>
<div><span style="line-height: 1.6em;">sources are updated very frequently. It's bread and butter. You can expect users to implement basic</span></div>
<div><span style="line-height: 1.6em;">functionality using scripts and botch workarounds.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="line-height: 1.6em;">Entering </span><span style="line-height: 1.6em;">comments during commit is very important, and everyone from time to time forgets to do it,</span></div>
<div><span style="line-height: 1.6em;">which may cause </span><span style="line-height: 1.6em;">problems to his teammates. </span><span style="line-height: 1.6em;">TortoiseSVN (and other turtles) should have such an important </span></div>
<div><span style="line-height: 1.6em;">option </span><span style="line-height: 1.6em;">available out of the box, w</span><span style="line-height: 1.6em;">ithout </span><span style="line-height: 1.6em;">hooks, </span><span style="line-height: 1.6em;">external scripts and other workarounds.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="line-height: 1.6em;">Please, add an option to enforce comments. </span></div>
<div>A <span style="line-height: 19.2px;">simple dialog box </span><span style="line-height: 19.2px;">"Hey, you forgot to enter a comment" would suffice.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thank you,</div>
<div><span style="line-height: 1.6em;">Darko</span></div>
<div> </div></div></body></html>
