I should have known that the first thing to surface would be "why" and not "the answer". But your question, Daniel, was polite at least :)
If you pay attention to the command line in editor-cmd setting you can notice that content is appended. Therefore it is positioned below the -- This line and everything below... There are times when changes to certain files are accumulating over the days and when I hit "svn ci" I would like to get a glimpse of those changes. Of course you can do it in another terminal, and for larger changesets I definitely do so. But for smaller changesets it is just very convenient to see right away what was changed. Now, the 'update-first' seemed reasonable but it does not solve the issue. Will look deeper into it tomorrow. Thanks for your assistance, b.
