When Commit'ing, you get a list of changed resources.  It would be very handy to be able to copy the list of changed resources for pasting as text in a bug report.

The list would be the resource names and revisions.  I guess we'd need to make a guess at the resulting revision number (take current + 0.1) since you want to say what you released into CVS (not the state prior to release).  Or better still both

  MyClass.java 1.21 - 1.22

If uncomfortable with guessing, then
  MyClass.java (based on 1.21)

which is enough for most uses.

Another idea is to provide the path to the resources.  I'd be happy with just the resource names unqualified names, although more completeness of information is probably a good idea in this case.

A counter argument to doing any of this is that the information is already available in the CVS Console.  I never think of that though, and it's pretty verbose, e.g.:

    /cvsroot/eclipse/e4/org.eclipse.e4.ui/bundles/org.eclipse.e4.ui.workbench/src/org/eclipse/e4/workbench/ui/internal/WorkbenchApplication.java,v  <--  src/org/eclipse/e4/workbench/ui/internal/WorkbenchApplication.java
    new revision: 1.7; previous revision: 1.6

I guess it's that the resource list is *right there* in the dialog so the natural thing is to want to copy the text I can see.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
