Hi, my idea is pretty simple and let me start by saying that I am terribly sorry if this is the wrong place for it. But
I really love the Subversion (SVN) and CVS implementations in Netbeans they are really perfect and enhance my usage of
Netbeans as my full and only development studio.

However an idea struck me, because I often use "ToDo"-tags to add updates to files and then fill this information in
when I do my svn commits. it would be very nice to extend the svn/cvs plugins (or are they even part of the ide now?).
well to extend them with a dev-tag style syntax and on the commit it would parse the information and suggest these
dev-tags as a -m flag (comment) for the revision. maybe it could be a option to include, and also to remove the comment
from your code after the commit.

so what I am talking about is a dev-tag syntax in the ide where I as a developer can add a small comment for example:

1) I am working on the file myFile.h and I change the name of a function in the class the function name was func1(), and
I updated to call it func2(). then somewhere in my file I make a note about this:
// SVN: Updated the name of the member function func1() to func(), of the class myFile

2) I commit with SVN and svn pars this comment and suggest me to use a compound of all // SVN: strings as a -m flag.

3) on commit it would ask me: "Do you want to remove the SVN: dev-tags from the committed files? (Yes/no)

Thank you for listening and I hope you find my idea interesting, I was actually first planning on implementing it as a
plugin myself, but I just can't seem to find any time to do so, and since I like the idea I thought I could at least try
to pass it on. it's not a huge project and if I just had time to learn about the process of writing plugins for Netbeans
at this point I would have done it myself.
If however it isn't a good enough idea or maybe I am not the only one with a tight schedule, I understand but I have at
least got to share my idea.

cheers Kristian Qrikko Lindström

This is not a Plugin Portal related enhancement. Reassigning to 'subversion' component for evaluation.
