Description Gary Gregory CLA 2002-11-14 14:40:53 EST 
When I do a Team CVS Synchronise and double click on a .java file, I get a very 
nice comparison pane. The version and author are displayed for both the local 
and incoming files but not the commit COMMNENT. This is especially important 
for the /incomming/ file.

I am not sure where the best place to add this would be.

(1) An resizable scrollable text area below the author and version static text 
area?
(2) A one line static text area below the author and version static text area 
that displays. The whole comment could be displayed as hint text when hovered 
on?

(Build id: 200211051258)

Thank you for considering this request,
Gary

We actually tried this during 2.0 but ran into problems because we need to go 
to the server to get the comment, and hover help is just a bad place to do long 
operations.  Unfortunately we then ran out of time, but also had never figured 
out then the best place to show it.

We may still have a bug report open on this subject of seeing the commit 
comment. I agree its important.
