I always prefer to write up the commit message in advance, in a temporary file (where I also keep some old entries I might use again later :) ), and the simply copy/paste the text when doing the commit. That way you can also check that you are committing to the right branch, and that you are not committing any files that you did not want to commit :-). Anyway that was my 0.00002DKR, and I will shut up now :-). --=20 Simon L.
