I use and love Subversion and TortoiseSVN. However, there is one feature I sorely miss:

I work on a big project whose source files are on an external server. Each time I click “SVN Commit…” from Windows Explorer, TortoiseSVN will search the whole tree for changes, which takes a lot of time.
However, many of the changes I am about to comment and commit refer to one or two files only, which means that I have to repeat the “SVN Commit…” procedure up to a dozen times, every time with the full tree rebuild.

Is there a way in TortoiseSVN to create multiple commits (with different comments) without rebuilding the “Changes Made” list every time or, alternatively, does anybody know a tool that can?

    From the TortoiseSVN menu of the working copy (right click on the working copy), pick “Check for modifications”. This will give you a dialog that lists all your changes. (It won’t refresh automatically, you’ll have to do this manually.) In this dialog you can select the files you want to commit (using Ctrl+left click) and (using right click) commit only those.

    I always have one such dialog open while working on some working copy.
