Compare  the  taxation  of  the   single  committer  during  the  commit
with  the  taxing  brought  by  an extra  e-mail  message  to  cvs  sent
to  all  subscribers. In  addition  to  the simple  database  management
consideration: all pieces  of a transaction should be  committed at once
-- to simplify logging and roll-back, and ensure consistency...

commit comment  -- next to the  PR's description and the  content of the
port's pkg-comment.
