Just a pet peeve.  That's not really a "Log" message.  It should be
much more descriptive as to the code you are committing.

FYI: You can use svadmin to update the log message.

It's too long to reproduce here, but I really like what the Subversion
folks have come up with, see section "Writing log messages:

You're right.  Our log messages are often not very descriptive, we should 
really take the time to write one or two sentences about a commit.

I think svnadmin works only if you have direct access to the repository.  I 
used the command 'svn propset svn:log --revprop -r 46098 -F /dev/stdin' to 
fix it.
