from my work as a developer
changelist
I discovered nice future in my IntelliJ IDEA – Changelists!
What is that? It’s just grouping changed files in logical directory, see screen shot below:
As you can see under one name I can have many different files from different directories. And now comes the best part – you can manage them as the one!
Hit “Enter” on changelist title and all files will be opened in editor. I assigned special shortcut to change active changelist – “Shift + Enter”. And the last thing, you can commit the whole changelist at once, without specifying particular files, see command below:
svn commit --cl WW-3424 -m "Resolved WW-3424 - added expression evaluation for timezone attribute"
Happy Easter!

I see keys like WW-2524. Does it mean you had to define task (i.e. with connection to JIRA), choose it and then make changes?

I’m defining new changelist when I’m starting work on an issue and it becomes the default changelist, so all changes I will make will be attached with that changelist.
Quite often I need to wait with committing changes, so changelists are saving my time!
