Since it seems entirely possible that the subversion bundle developers do not read the intricate details of some LaTeX discussions I thought I would just highlight a couple of ideas that came out of yesterday's emails.
Could you make it more difficult to commit without a comment? For example if the comment is blank could you pop up a confirmation dialog? Or could you disable the commit button until something has been entered in the comment field?
Another suggestion was to have it so that the comment field gets the focus when the window pops up. Although this seems to be how it works for me already, so maybe this is done already.
Thanks,
Brad
