So what about the little arrow button at the bottom that opens the list of changed files and lets you show the diff as a separate window? m.

I've been a Textmate user for a long time but I'm new here on the list. Recently the SVN commit pane changed from a dialog to a modal pane. I sent a message to feedback but was advised that I would be better raising it as a discussion here. I cannot find a previous thread that explains the design decision for the change.I tend to open a full diff before starting the commit so that I can review my changes and write the commit message accordingly. Now I have to remember to double-click the tab of the diff file to move it to a separate window because the modality stops me from accessing the tabs. I also cannot browse the actual code on the tabs.
I presume that the modality change is to stop a novice from continuing to edit files before hitting Commit and therefore not necessarily committing everything? (I don't consider myself a novice). :-)
