Single, project-spanning commits? [message #15080]

If I make changes in several projects (checked out from the same
repository) and commit everything together (with a single commit
message), the commit will show up as two separate commits in svn! Is this
an inherent limitation of svn (don't recall seeing this problem with cvs),
or a possible problem with Subversive? (Or maybe I'm just doing something
wrong...)

Hi Eric,
I think this is related to if you're using JavaHL or SVNKit. From my experience, the former is
unable to do a single transaction that spans multiple projects. SVNKit seems to work just fine in
this respect. My guess is that it does a better job collecting "common roots" prior to the commit.
