I'm actually not sure about that. For the record, I *do* use
subclipse, but I found it sometimes unreliable: I would sometimes be
unable to commit from within Eclipse+subclipse, while commiting from
the command-line would work perfectly. I wonder if other people have
already come across this issue.

I'll try my best to do that.
