That's true, but not all projects are structured in a way that is conducive to 
this approach, and many people work in repositories for which they do not 
control structure.

Additionally, I recently realized this feature is already supported by Xcode 4 
(currently in developer preview) as well as the numerous other existing SVN 
clients. The ability to filter down the resources to be committed is not a 
pie-in-the-sky feature, it's practical and rather straightforward to implement. 
I fully expect to see it in a future release of Versions. (If not, I'll 
probably be using Xcode 4 for SVN a lot more.)
