http://www.intellij.net/tracker/idea/viewSCR?publicId=17379 This request is to follow on to the discussion thread http://www.intellij.net/forums/thread.jsp?forum=33&thread=42844 and to reopen http://www.intellij.net/tracker/idea/viewSCR?publicId=6720 which I believe is not yet satisfactory. Could we have an offline mode that keeps batching adds and deletes done through IDEA (move/rename/delete/add) until Check In Project time. Adds and deletes would not require connection to the CVS server. On Check In Project, IDEA would first tranparently add/remove these files to the server than commit the project. There won't be any need to process locally deleted or unknown. The difference display would list these files as if they were already added/removed to the server. In other words, from a user point of view, there would not be any difference in operation between offline and online. Internally the only difference (transparent to the user) is the timing of adding/removing files to the server. VCS related SCR: http://www.intellij.net/tracker/idea/viewSCR?publicId=12862
