It seems like there's two different workflows here: Some people keep work in progress going on some files while wanting to commit other files, while other people only have a single thing going (perhaps over many files) and always wants to commit all changed files. This sounds like it should be a user-level switch in vc that would control whether the default is to commit all changes or just the current file, I think. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no
