I use this script to write a list of the file names in the format described in HACKING:

~/src/subversion> cat log-msg.sh
#!/bin/bash
# Write a log message template, listing the files that would be committed.
svn status "$@" | grep "^[^?]" | sed 's/^M...../*/' | sort

So I do, for example,

  ./log-msg.sh doc/boo/book/ > book.patch

  svn diff doc/book/book/ >> book.patch

  vim book.patch
  # Write the log message by looking at the diff, and then delete the diff part.
  # While doing this, realise that the patch isn't quite right. Go back and fix it.

  cat book.patch
  # Final check. Is it all correct? Did I remember to delete the diff part?

  svn commit -F book.patch doc/book/book/
