svn feature addition?
Hi There, I am looking for the following features in svn: -When you do svn commit, instead of automatically submitting all changed files in the directory, in the dialog where you enter the commit message (if -m flag is not used), is there a feature to uncheck any files that should not be committed/select files to be committed? -Is there an option to inspect each file further line-by-line for lines that have changed to either be selected or excluded from the commit? I am interested to potentially work on patches that would extend svn with the above functionality if not present already, does anyone know? It seems like these options would be really useful... Thank you, Ron

This should already be possible. If your client doesn't support it, you'll have to request the feature from its authors. > -Is there an option to inspect each file further line-by-line for > lines that have changed to either be selected or excluded from the commit? "Including or excluding changed lines from a file before commnt" is also known as "using a text editor to modify the file". Subverison tracks whole files, not individual lines. In fact the repository does not care if the file contains text or not. > I am interested to potentially work on patches that would extend svn with the > above functionality if not present already, does anyone know?

The off-the-cuff answer is "Use git-svn", but maybe there's a better way...
