So I’m making some changes/fixes to someone’s subclipse mod and had a few questions.

First, I noticed that an svn commit fails when trying to commit a single file that is identical to the existing one in the repository. (And returns -1 for the revision #) Makes sense.
Does this happen if you commit multiple files, only some of which have no changes?

Is the best way around this to just do a diff (on every file?) before attempting to commit?

If anyone knows, that’d be great. Or if you can point me in the right direction? (My google-fu failed me)

    If the file is identical, SVN will not commit it. If you provide a list of files, the ones that are identical will just be skipped. I assume you are working with the SVN API and not Subclipse GUI or command line client as you do not see a -1 in either of those.
