Usually the code goes like "if there is a changelist, act on the node only when it is part of the changelist." ...well, it's just what I remember faintly, admittedly. Is that true? If it isn't, there's nothing wrong with your command at all. In fact that would be quite nice. But from the ignore-on-commit perspective, you still need to remember to supply it at commit time. You'd need to make the changelist always secretly self-acting, and thus the changelist must have a special name, as Hyrum kindly pointed out :) If I can instead create a simple property to achieve the same, I'm happier. And your command example doesn't give you the ability to propagate it globally without even coding a single additional line of code. (none except warning messages we may want to introduce.)
