Description swilk 2011-03-09 11:52:25 UTC
Hi,

I am working with netbeans for over a year now and I found that I need a new feature to commit all the files I have opened in my editor.

I suggest adding to context menu of the tab with opened file a new position under "Subversion". It could be named "Subversion (all opened files)" and would contain actions which make most sense to do on many files, that is: show changes, commit, update, diff, revert. 

Without this every time I have to commit something I need to manually traverse the project tree and hand-pick the files I want to commit. I usually have many files modified, and only some are ready to commit, and some are not.

Use the "Show Changes" action which opens a window with all the changes made in your repository. There you can select your files and commit them separately

I am aware of that option, but it does not fit my use case. 
I am using subversion. As branching in subversion is pain in the akhm, I meen impossibly difficult, I often leave unfinished work in my working copy, and do some other work on the same working copy in the same project. To start this work I usually "close all" opened files, make the changes I need, usually in more than one file and then commit those new changes. 
To do that I have to manually select them from commit window or show changes windows.
This operation is very error prone, as I can easly miss some files or commit files I should not commit. 

All I need is to run a subversion command on the open files. 

Anyway, this issue will be less important to me in some time, as we are movig to Git, which branching ability should reduce need for cherry picking commits.
