Re: Issue a command for more than one folder

Kirill,

We don't always have to agree on everything. This is why we have this 
list - to discuss ;)

There was no discussions per se - just myself trying to stabilize 
WinCvs so it behaves correctly and bug reports when it didn't ;) It 
works now, and I don't say it's perfect but it does work without 
creating too much problems.

This is the result of "field testing" done mostly by users. I don't 
have time to study each command and discover when and why it works - I 
just find the simplest way to make it work. In WinCvs it's to disallow 
mixing folders and files. In CvsIn it's one command in each folder. At 
some later point in this new development cycle we will have another go 
at this - but I don't feel this is the right time. Your recent 
improvements are very useful and with any luck we can promote 
development version to the status of stable. If we break basic things 
now it will not happen for a long time. This is not to discourage you. 
In fact you can probably create a brach for that - just so we can see 
what code is involved. Perhaps I am over-cautions...

Too late - adding files is blocked for selection from different 
folders already ;)

In this case the problem was that add must be performed in correct 
order or it will fail - it was easier to just disable this function. 
We will have to fix it at some point for sure.

Best Regards,
Jerzy
