Eclipse Subversive commit changelist?

Question

I just created an ignore-on-commit changelist as described in SVN: Is there a way to mark a file as "do not commit"? and it's awesome on the command line, making it much easier to view the changes I care about in the command line.

Having all this power and organization now I select all my projects in eclipse and go to Team > Commit and there is no notion of changelists in the commit dialog and I still have to go through all the changes and tediously select which files to commit.

Am I missing something in Eclipse' Subversive that would allow me to use changelists in the commit dialog?

I found the following setting, but it doesn't seem to change anything...

Extremely interested to know how to get ignore-on-commit to work in Eclipse as well, using Subversive. – Myrnamyrobalan

Obviously I've had no answer yet. Because of that I'm doing most of my svn through command line these days. – Ragwort

I see two possibilities here:

1. Using svn:ignore

The easiest solution would be to add the files you don't want to commit to your svn:ignore list.

You can do it in Subversive through the Team>Add to svn:ignore... menu:

2. Using change sets

The alternative is to :

• go in the Synchronize view
• click the Show Change Sets button
• you can then add changed files to change sets (and create new change sets) from the right-click menu.

You can find more information in the Subversive documentation.

Wouldn't adding to svn:ignore require it to be checked in with the svn:ignore property set in order for it to take effect? If so, that pretty much defeats the purpose. I might have a look at the change sets. Does that mean it uses its own change set mechanism instead of the one built in to svn? – Ragwort

Concerning svn:ignore you're right, but it could be an option if your are working on your own branch. You may consider using global-ignores also... For Subversive's Change sets, I don't know how they are handled internally, but I've seen them be used this way in the past... – Roybal

Since the files I do not want to commit have changes local to my machine, but are still under source control, adding to svn:ignore isn't going to do my any good. The changesets in the plugin are interesting, it's sad they don't appear to integrate with the svn built-in change lists. – Ragwort
