I think it's silly to have to manually specify metadata in a commit
message which is already perfectly captured by the tool itself.  The
manually-entered metadata is not 100% reliable across the projects
history anyway.

That said, I'd be happy to help review a proposed patch to the
committer's handbook or Subversion primer that documents these terms
and presents examples of their use.
