Suggestion: Change Set Comments Increase

Post by josullivan » Wed Jan 14, 2009 9:18 pm

Hi,
I'd like to suggest an increase in the amount of text allowed for the "Change Set Comments" area (unless I'm able to increase it myself).

We often merge a large amount of changes between our main development branch and our QA branch within a specific repository. The "Change Set Comments" often get truncated and we'd like to keep them intact.

Thanks!

Beth

Is it a case of where the Change Set comments are needing to merge, or are you just creating a very large comment after you check in the merge results?

The comments are the ones that are automatically generated on a merge

If you perform a Show History on the folder you checked into, and double-clicked the check-in that was related to the merge, in the Window that comes up, do you see the full Change Set comment, or is it too small there as well? Do you have a scrollbar to the right so you can see the full comment?

Hi Beth,
Yes the changeset comments are truncated there too. Also if I go and edit the comments I'm not able to add additional text.

Thanks

How long is the text?

Is it possible you can either post a screenshot, or send one to support at sourcegear.com (attn: Beth) with a link to this thread?
