-0.5. The presence of a repeating line-begin string like SVN: is
really easy for the eye to notice as interesting. I don't think a
single occurrence of a magic string is as eye-catching.

Also, if running `svn diff' on the commit targets was part of this
proposal, -1 on that! We get the "svn status" for free because we
harvest those changed paths as we crawl for commit targets. Those
paths are buffered in memory until we pop up the $EDITOR window.
Doing `svn diff' as well would mean either making a second pass over
the tree for diff purposes (-1) or buffering the output of diffs as we
crawl over the tree that first time (-1).
