Or better yet, how about gathering all files from the same branch together,
and sorting the output by branch? Then we could have:

  Revision  Changes    Path
  1.7       Delete     src/sys/i386/include/asm.h
  1.1       +89 Add    src/sys/i386/include/asm.h
RELENG_2_2:
  1.3.4.1   +82 -1     src/sys/i386/include/asm.h


Would it look too untidy if the only changes are to files on a branch?
If so, an empty line could be inserted after the column headings
(or before each branch section)...

====
  Revision  Changes    Path

  1.7       Delete     src/sys/i386/include/asm.h
  1.1       +89 Add    src/sys/i386/include/asm.h

RELENG_2_2:
  1.3.4.1   +82 -1     src/sys/i386/include/asm.h


Log messages can be huge, so it makes sense to list all the modified files
at the top of the message. The Modified: section makes easier reading than
the Subject: header line.
