Greg Stein also answered this note, but I think I can give a simpler and
more definitive answer.

This isn't a UI issue. Subversion associates exactly one log message
with a commit. I'm a little leery of it myself (it means that "svn log"
on a particular file will contain a lot of verbiage not directly related
to that file), but it's not a good idea for us to switch gears on that
point right now. Maybe it could change after Subversion is released and
there is a (hypothetical) great clamor to have per-file log messages in
commits.

In Subversion, nothing; we won't have per-directory log messages. (In
CVS, commits per-directory are atomic and commits between directories
are only kinda sorta not really atomic, but that's not really an excuse
for the UI and other behavior.)
