Mark Phippard's initial report from issue 2724 (for easy
access):

The Eclipse environment, probably most IDE's, create an
environment where
projects are checked out into a common folder where the
parent folder is not a
WC.  So even though all of these projects are from the same
repository and might
even have a common parent, they are essentially a series of
disconnected
"island" working copies.  The problem with this is
that you can then not commit
changes in multiple projects as a single atomic commit
operation.

Expected behavior:
If I commit files, listing their paths, and they all live in
the same
repository, I would expect the commit to succeed and do it
one transaction.

Actual behavior:
Subversion errors out if you try to do this.  As a
workaround, Subclipse has to
break this up into multiple commits.  Users feel like they
are losing a key
Subversion feature. 

Suggested change:
The JavaSVN/SVNKit library added support for this.  In their
case, we just have
to give them all the paths, and they break it up into one
commit per repository.
 I would be happy doing this break up in Subclipse, if I
could just get the
single commit to work when they are all in the same
repository.
