Handling SSH on non-standard ports for subversion and git

Working with subversion and git over SSH on a non-standard port (!=22) is troublesome as the host:port syntax does not work.

One easy way around this is to to define an entry as the following in $HOME/.ssh/config:

Host my.githost.com
Port 7822

This allows one to use the host normally through most SSH-using tools such as subversion and git!

Eclipse change sets

The release of subversion 1.5 brought basic support for "changelists" in the command-line client. It's a quick and easy way to organize work instead of at commit time having to go through the diffs and trying to remember what belonged to the issue at hand.

Working in eclipse, I have the need for something similar, and was surprised that up until now I've never noticed the existing support for change sets in eclipse. It feels great to "discover" a small but useful feature, even if it is a couple of years old :).
