Hi Lucinda, We are considering to add this functionality in a future release.
Regarding 1. Diffing from the commit window: I think that would be a nice feature to have, something I'd find quite handy myself too. Re. 2. 'Enabling/disabling' items in the commit dialog: I'm personally less certain about that, since I'm worried it would make the commit dialog a bit busy. The current way of committing selectively is to use multiple selection in the browser; adding this feature would blur the line somewhat between what the browser's for and what the commit dialog is for, but that's true for both topics. There's something to say for a more powerful commit dialog, my main concern is losing some of the clarity of Versions' interface by providing too much overlap between browser and commit dialog. Once we have disabling/enabling of items, it'd be just one step further to allow adding unversioned files from the commit dialog, and so on with the next extra feature. These are just some of my personal off-the-bat opinions on where we could/should take the commit dialog. We will have to work out some prototypes of a more powerful commit dialog and see how they work and feel. And maybe if we're lucky, we'll come up with an even better way to make pre-commit reviews more fluid. So definitely under consideration, but not yet decided exactly what, how and when. I hope I've answered your question a bit. I'd love to say "Yes, we're building that", but until we have a prototype that 'feels right' we're not ready to commit – pun not intended – on shipping an update with these features.
