To the last poster:
No, this is not PEBKAC but a problem with the developer tool (VB6).
Seriously, please don't descend to such mindless and useless trolling. If you
can't contribute to a useful solution please don't post.
To the original author:
If you were using UNIX, you could use "svn diff --diff-cmd='diff -i'" to check
whether something changed, case-insensitive. You could then write a script
that would run "svn status", and check with "svn diff --diff-cmd='diff -i'"
all files that are marked as changed whether a significant change happened
and then commit only those files...
I'm quite sure you can do something like this on Windows as well, but I have
no idea how scripting works on Windows... a last resort would be to install
Cygwin, then a lot more people could help you as you'd then have a UNIX-like
environment :-)
