Okay, i get to wait on a 770MB file to copy to China at ~160kb per second,
so...

This is what i see in my $EDITOR (emacs) right now...


Changed text which appears in EDITOR/VISUAL-based commit message editor,
per ML discussion.
# Enter commit message for this check-in. Lines beginning with # are
ignored.
#
# user: stephan
# tags: trunk
#
# EDITED     src/checkin.c


i didn't touch the basic help text because, after trying it, it just seemed
out of place and like "too much info," considering that 'help commit'
already has so much text and this addition would so rarely be
informative/useful at that level. Right now it's shown at the one exact
place where it's relevant, which seems most useful to me.

So...

ctrl-x ctrl-s ctrl-x c
(no lip from the vi users, please ;)
...

We could probably shorten "commit message" to "message" or change it to
"change summary" - suggestions are welcomed, but it ideally should fit in
(approx.) 72 characters (only for historical reasons).
