Unavailable Commit Interface: SVN and Git in Single Workspace/Project

Problem

After setting up a workspace with multiple modules containing both Git and SVN repositories, the "Commit" interface/tool window becomes unavailable. The commit operation can only be accessed via the Version Control icon.

Cause

The SVN integration does not support the non-modal commit interface in JetBrains IDEs. When an SVN module is added to a project, the commit interface switches to the modal commit interface. Consequently, the View | Tool Windows | Commit option becomes disabled.

Resolution

To perform commits under these conditions:

1. Use the Version Control tool window:
   • Open the Version Control window and navigate to the "Local Changes" tab to manage and commit changes.
2. Use the Ctrl/Cmd+K keyboard shortcut:
   • Press the shortcut to open the modal commit dialog and proceed with your commits.

This behavior is expected when both SVN and Git projects coexist within a single workspace or project.
