Sometimes when I encounter an example of thoughtful software, I can't help but blog about it. For instance, svn was kind enough to catch a mistake for me today:

obie-fernandezs-computer:~/prorails obie$ svn ci -m "Extending Rails.doc"
svn: The log message is a pathname (was -F intended?); use '--force-log' to override

I wish more people put this kind of thought into their software design.
