10) It would be great if I could see a list of which files changed in a particular rev when looking at the history for a directory. Sometimes this tells me as much as my own checkin comment.
This one is a maybe for 1.1. Might get slipped to 1.2.
I would love to see this, as it's something I have to do quite frequently (figure out what changed in a rev), and I've not been in the habit of listing the files in my comment (since that info was available in my windows client). Here is another place where it would be ideal to be able to right click on the file and see the diff. In this case, I can see uses both for diff-against-working-copy and diff-against-previous-rev, so you'd have to be careful to be clear what you were diffing against (preferably allowing both!  )
I have to agree with the camp that says "please use standard svn terminology" - I want to be sure I know what's happening, and I already know how svn works - I just don't want to muck with the commandline.
Opinion noted We probably won't be changing this.
Your program, your choice. However, if you insist on using new terms please at least put a glossary someplace that references the real svn term so that regular SVN users can be sure they're doing what they expect. I won't use a feature if I don't know what it's doing to the repository underneath the covers.
7) It would be nice to have icons or a slightly more visual way of calling out the modified files.
We've been looking at adding highlighting to designated working copy/repository status, and probably also modified, etc status. This will probably be in 1.1.
I think I'm missing something obvious here. If I'm looking at a working copy, wouldn't they all have the 'working copy' flag, and similarly if I'm looking at the repository they would not? At what point would they be mixed?
A new question - I haven't tried to import to a new repository yet.. Is it as simple as just dragging files from the finder onto the working copy and checking in? What is the equivalent of "svn add" and "svn import" ? In the past, I've resorted to setting up my repositories on windows in TortoiseSVN first, and I'd like to be able to avoid that!
