I did read your previous edits to the README, which look good overall,
although I'm still unclear what svn-newchange does.... it seems to pick
up files I've modified which aren't included in the current
changeset.... where is all this magic happening? is it keeping a list
somewhere?

Not necessary if you don't have any changes yet, as 5 will make a
new change if you don't specify one.
It may be worth mentioning in the README that this step takes many
minutes on Windows when executed from $LPS_HOME. (or is it just me?)
It does, but after that, your change is driven by the change file, so
it never has to look at your whole filesystem again.
Something that may not be obvious: Once you say new change, it
gets the modified files at that point. If you modify more files
later, you will have to manually add them to the changeset (or
discard your change and start over). After new change, the whole
process is driven by the list of files in the change description.
How do you manually add a file to the changeset or discard changes
and start over?
What I do:
svn status
and copy the output
svn-edit
and paste the copy over the list of files that were in the change.
Clearly this needs improvement. Probably we should provide svn-
update-change or something.
It takes it from your shell $EDITOR variable. This is part of the
revised doc I would like to check in...
I tried
%export EDITOR=vim
no luck :(
You need to ask another windows weenie how they do it.
I updated the README (and tools), with all the previous discussion.
If you update, perhaps you could review my changes to the README?
I'll add these notes today.
