It would be useful to notify user about all [Local] files, when he/she is starting 'commit' command on whole directory. It is very frequent developer's mistake that (s)he forget 'add' files before commit. I could imagine the warning dialog saying something like: "You are about commit all changes in <somedir> directory and all sub- directories. These files: <list_of_local_files> are local and were not added to CVS repository. Didn't you want to add them before commit?" [x] Do not show this message again.
I've implemented a more general commit-checking tool. =Vcs Groups which enable you to group modified files and perform the cvs commands on the whole set. It's also possible to verify the group. Currently you get notified about 3 kind of possible problems within the group: 1. there are some local files in the group. 2. some files were modified by other developers. 3. some files in the group were not modified by you. The tool can then correct these problems. You can set up the groups to move all modified files to the default ogroup or a group of choice. This way you have an overview about all the files you touched. Of course the files can be added manually as well..
VCS Groups feature is really cool. I believe Petr is also impressed :) Verified in development build of NetBeans 3.3 #200111010100.
Resolved for 3.4.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
