I'm definitely against putting the diffs into the default log message.
The complaint that users are making is that it's annoying to manually
remove every "SVN:" prefix from each 'M foo.c' line that they want to
annotate. It's much easier to delete a *single* line and then edit
away.
I don't think "eye-catching" is something that needs worrying about.
Think about every time you compose an email in Emacs: "--text follows
this line--" appears, and you type below it. You don't have trouble
noticing it. It's no big deal.
