Hi again,

Well, I see some Subversion action going on in the commits ML. The
link to the changesets  is exactly the kind of thing I was looking
for. The fact that the revision number is included in the subject is
also good.  It would be better IMO to have the log line or part of it
until a certain amount of characters as subject, but I am not
complaining.

Cheers,

Jacques
