In Eclipse 3.0, a dialog box now pops up every time you do a Team ->
Update asking you to select the tag for the update.
Is there any way to turn off this "feature"? 99.9% of the time you want
to update with the current tag. Why bring up a dialog box _every_
_single_ _time_ asking what tag you want to use? Now you have to click
through this dialog on the common case just to support something that
you rarely want to do.
I've search through the preferences to no avail. Is there somewhere
else I should be looking?

John,
There is a bug tracking this issue
(https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=63954). The crux of the
problem is that most CVS tools always have a dialog on update that has
many options. Prior to 3.0, Eclipse had no options for update so there
was no dialog. When the tag option was added so was the dialog. Now the
challange is to to support both types of update (dialog and no dialog)
without litering the already packed context menu. The bug discusses
possible solutions to this.
Also, a dialog-less update is available from the synchronize view, which
is the way many people in Eclipse wrok (i.e. they synchronize first,
update to any incoming changes, resolve any conflicts and then release
any outgoing changes).
