Ok, I just tracked down *another* source of confusion.
(Which only begs more questions, but, hey, this can be
as much a spiritual path as any other.)

If I right click on files that are NOT under Subversion
control in my Project Explorer I find that pesky "Apply Patch..."
option, as well as a "Show Local History". Selecting the
first asks me to locate the "patch" (What patch!? You asked
me!). Selecting the second tells me I have "no local history".
Thank God! I'd be VERY worried if I thought there was a
paper trail.

Of course, if I select a file that IS under Subversion
control, I get all kinds of useful selections under the
same menu. Significantly, "Apply Patch..." is not one of
them.

I guess one of the things that bothers me about this
interface (and iTools, too, come to think of it), is
all kinds of options and buttons and things that you
can safely ignore and don't pertain in the slightest
to anything you probably want to be doing, but there
they are, calling to you, begging you to understand
them. And, of course, since it is ALL new to me, I
don't understand the difference between something that
can be ignored and something that is useful.

Reminds me of my trips to Munich, but without the good
company and beer.

Cheers,

David
