Is there a way to provide to Maven a custom SVN log message during release:prepare?

I would like to augment, during the release:prepare phase, the standard 
SVN commit message generated by Maven.

Is there a way to do that?

Thanks
Ovidui

... or at least

                <configuration>
                    ...
                    <scmComment>path_to_comment_file</scmComment>
                    ...
                </configuration>

Thanks for replying.

I've seen that, but I interpreted it as what it says it is: a "prefix" 
for an automatically Maven-generated message.

It seems to (correctly) generate something along the lines of:

    [maven-release-plugin] prepare release maven-release-experiment-1.0.1

I was thinking about generating something like:

    Release 2.5.7.3 (r12385)

    Blah Blah

    This is the release you were all waiting for, it solves all the
    world's problems and then some.

    Tests 3834/3/34

This kind of messages are very useful to subscribers of the SVN commit 
list (they are to our bunch of developers, anyway). I guess I could 
simulate that using scmCommentPrefix, though I don't know how to get rid 
of "prepare release <tag>". I probably can live with that ...

Now that I am thinking about it, what would it be really cool was be to 
be able to specify something like:

                <configuration>
                    ...

<scmCommentTemplate>path_to_template</scmCommentTemplate>
                </configuration>

or similar, where template could use substitutions for ${maven.version}, 
etc.

If you think it's useful, I volunteer to implement it.

Cheers,
Ovidiu
