# Subversion: Commit Dialog Box

The Subversion Commit dialog box enables you to commit local changes in version-controlled files to the repository. If you have an issue tracker set up with your repository, the commit dialog box lets you associate your commit action with an existing issue.

Element | Description
--- | ---
Commit Message | Type in a message describing your commit action. When entering a commit message, you can view previous messages by clicking the Recent Messages button located in the upper right corner of the dialog. A dialog displays, listing recent commit messages. If you know you will be repeatedly making commits for the same purpose, you can set text to be included as a template for commit messages. Click the Load Template icon in the upper right corner of the dialog to load text from Template file directly into the Commit Message text area.
Files to Commit | View files that will be included in the commit action. When you click on a field in the Commit Action column, you can specify additional actions by choosing from the drop-down list:
Exclude from Commit | Exclude the selected file from the commit action.
Add as Text | Set the MIME type for the file as textual data. (For new files only. New files are displayed in green text.)
Add as Binary | Set the MIME type for the file as binary data. (For new files only. New files are displayed in green text.)
Update Task | Update a task by associating your commit action with an existing task in your task repository.
Task Repository | Specify the task repository that your repository uses, by selecting an task repository from the drop-down list. The drop-down provides you with a list of all task repositories registered with the IDE. If your task repository is not registered, click the New button to register it.
Task | Specify the task ID. You can do this by typing in the ID, or part of the description. You can also specify the following options:
Resolve as FIXED | When selected, the status of the issue is marked as Resolved.
Add details to commit message and issue | When selected, the modify link in parentheses is enabled. Modify the format of the information that is added to commit messages and tasks in the Modify templates dialog box that is displayed, by clicking the `modify` link.
