Description

Perforce has this extremely useful feature where, when you do a
commit, you can modify the
list of files to actually commit inside the editor where you enter the
commit message. I.e. when
you do a 'svn commit', it pops you into the editor where you can enter
the commit message;
it also lists all the files/changes that will be commited; now, it
would nice to be able to edit that
list and thereby affect which files are actually commited (instead of
the list just there for
informational purposes). The reason this is quite useful is when many
files changed and you
want to commit most but not all of them - with this feature you can do
'svn commit *' (or
whatever), and then remove those few files from the list that you
don't want commited after
all.
