Hi,
This is a patch to use .mt-template as MT/log's template.
Any comments?

However, because I am not familiar with how things are done in monotone,
I'd like to have some suggestion as to how I should implement this...
Cool, thanks for helping out. This is definitely the right place to
ask (or on IRC, if you felt like a more interactive format --
#monotone on irc.oftc.net).
Should .mt-template be used only when commit message is typed in an
editor
and MT/log is empty? Or should it be used to create MT/log on setup or
after commit?
My suggestion would be that it should be used to create MT/log on
setup or after commit. That way people who like MT/log and people
who don't, see the same behavior.
One little gotcha to watch out for here is that we should refuse
commit messages whose text is identical to the template -- just like
we refuse commit messages that are empty. This preserves the behavior
people expect where if they just quit out of the commit message editor
without saving, then their commit will be canceled.
How do small decisions like this is made? Or should I make a
patch and post it to the list?
Either way works.
