In addition, I miss a feature that was in Tortoise CVS which I have used in the past.

When attempting to check in a file that has since been updated in the repository, the 
commit fails with the message to update the file first.  After addressing the file, the
comment entered previously is not retained and it can be quite frustrating to enter it 
again, sometimes with the result that I enter a briefer message or occasionally none 
at all.

Maybe it is good punishment for not habitually updating from the repository first! :)

Paul.

Subject:    [Eap-features] CVS Dialogs



I don't know if anyone else has this issue, but I  thought I'd mention it--

Our policy is to provide a brief note regarding  what changes were made to a given 
file when committing it to CVS. This entry is  made in the "Log Message" field on the 
CVS Options pane when perfoming a CVS  commit.

So far, so good.

At times, I find myself "missing" the OK button  just a bit-- especially when making a 
large number of changes. When I do  this, like as not the cursor slightly past the 
"e" in the text for the  checkbox "Do not show this dialog in a future"-- resulting in 
the checkbox being  inadvertently checked. Unfortunately, I generally realize that I 
missed and  compensate, but don't notice the checkbox is on until too late. This means 
that  I have to go into the project properties to re-enable the messages on commits,  
taking time, slowing things down etc.

Note that I'm not sure this needs to be changed,  although I expect that most people 
have a policy (either do or don't for each  function) and don't need to be prompted 
each and every time. I just find it very  annoying when I get bit.

Also, I expect that the dialog should read "Do not  show this dialog in THE future" 
just to pick nits.

Thanks for the rant.

rob.
