Commit warning about a tag

[Graham Bloice]

After updating to 1.7.12 and attempting to commit I got a warning dialog that the commit path appears to be a tag, and giving options to commit or cancel.

The repo path was a long one but wasn't a tag branch, e.g. "svn://repo/product/changes/name of change branch".

The commit did include a file with a .tag suffix though.

Clicking the commit option in the warning dialog allowed the commit to proceed normally.

Yup, the message tells you that it "appears to be" a tag. Since SVN
doesn't have a clear 'tag' but allows you to specify that yourself, that
check can never ever be 100% accurate. And that's why the message tells
you that it appears to be so.

Also true and intentional.

This will (initially) cause confusion for our users as we have lots of files with a .tag suffix. The permissions on our repo are such that ordinary users can never commit to the tags branches anyway.

Is there an option to turn off the erroneous (for us) message anywhere? I had a look in settings but nothing jumped out.

Is it not enough to check that directory name does not contain 'tag'.
Otherwise anyone who uses .tag files is going to hit this on every
commit.

Settings->Revision Graph->Classification Patterns
if you remove the trunk/branches/tags strings there, the check will be
skipped.

And it really only checks for /tags/, not for .tags or something else.
