The way I use CVS, I get that -- when you don't put in the commit message
on the command line, it pops up an editor session (via EDITOR) where the
file you're editing includes a list of files modified, added, and deleted.
I'd definitely agree that it's important that subversion offers similar
functionality ... I know I'd be very unhappy otherwise.
