Disclaimer: Sometimes my tone seems confrontational, but I'm really being nice. I just tend to looks at things objectively and pragmatically. Please don't let me scare you off. :-)
I meant "code symbols" to encapsulate function names; for example, it could also include methods, classes, variables, etc. File names would be easy to support, but remember that a Subversion repository doesn't necessarily just store source code. Even assuming code, there is a wide variety of programming languages that would have to be supported for such a feature to be considered useful. On top of that, there's an implicit assumption that most people even *put* script/function/class names in their log messages. I just a Versions user too, but I'm also a software engineer myself, and my gut reaction is that this feature — while admittedly cool and potentially useful — is one that I would expect to require a lot more time and money than could be justified, especially when compared to other core Subversion features like merging. Personally, when I *do* put code symbols (like class and method names) in a log message, I either type them out by hand or copy/paste from the source or a diff. I tend to triple-check changes before committing, so the latter is usually the easiest. As far as spelling mistakes, that's because Versions uses the built-in spelling functionality and dictionary, which doesn't (and shouldn't) contain script/function names. I'd bet that most users are more likely to misspell common words than code symbols anyhow. I've caught a lot of minor typos this way. If I've missed something, please let me know.
