Re: svn propchange: r1580369 - svn:log

[sebb <se...@gmail.com>]

Note that SVN commit messages are not versioned, so can be replaced at
any time (and then only live on in mail archives).
But the main issue is that the ASF releases source, and svn log
messages are not included the standard releases.

IMO SVN log messages should be regarded as short-term comments which
tell the commit message viewer why the update was committed, and are
mostly useful for reviewing the commit message.

If any of the information in the log message is necessary to the
understanding of the code, it really needs to be added to the Javadoc
or some other documentation file that is included in the source
releases.
