When managing multiple changelists, allow us to checkin with the changelist's name
When I'm managing several changelists I give them different names depending on the context. When checking in, I'd like to have the option of using the changelist name as the comment, instead of typing in the comment first and then choosing to check in the changelist.
e.g. - I might have the following:
Changelist: "Feature XYZ"
Changelist: "Spelling error"
Changelist: "DO NOT CHECKIN"
I'd like to check in "Feature XYZ" but not "Spelling error" (as it might be irrelevant to the feature changelist). I would like to:
- Right click on "Feature XYZ" and select "Checkin Changelist"
- A dialog box pops up with the comment field, prepopulated with "Feature XYZ" as the changelist comment.
- I alter the comment "Feature XYZ" if I want, or otherwise just click on "Checkin" button on the new dialog and check in.
.. something like that. Having to enter something into the "main" comment box each time is cumbersome.
Thanks!
