Ah yes. I think the message itself was stored there too, and there was
a problem with long messages. But that was way back.

There are a couple of reasons for wanting this. An obvious one is
where a commit fails and you want to retry after the dialog closes and
you have updated. I know there is the "Keep open" option, but I also
seem to remember that it is an option you don't really like either.
The other is where you are doing several similar commits, like
retrospective tagging. Sometimes if I have forgotten to tag I just
pull up the log dialog select a revision, tag, select another, tag,
etc. The log message will usually be "Tag the 1.6.1 release", "Tag the
1.6.2 release" etc, so it is easier to edit the previous message than
type in again.
