That's a tough one.

The one thing for which I don't have a solution yet is the multiple-dive-edit 
problem. No information when multiple dives are edited is a recipe for 
disaster. I see it coming: User clicks on a dive site, multiple dives are 
selected. User edits current dive, but all are changed. The good thing is that 
only those fields are changed that have the same value as the edited dive, so 
it shouldn't end up in a total catastrophe.

Apart from that, yes undoizing the equipment tab would be nice. There's also 
more subtle things: deleting a dive-computer cannot be undone at the moment. 
But currently I'd rather fix the obvious problems with the dive-site selection. 
I myself am rather busy with live at the moment. Perhaps we can live with a 
double tracked system for one release?

Using master and reporting issues would be very helpful. I'm sure there are a 
lot of undetected problems. But be prepared for a rough time.

Also ideas or even implementations for the multiple-dive-edit problem would be 
more than welcome.
