log message and commit_editor

Hi,

I believe subversion is far more than just a replacement for CVS. At
least we are using it as a part of our software production system.

At the moment I'm extending the javahl API with a CommitEditor class.

This will hopefully provide a means to collect changes at the client
side and send them to the server as one transaction or "edit" in the
subversion parlance.

Now there is this "message" argument to ra_lib->get_commit_editor

At different places in the source code the message is constructed by the
ctx->log_msg_func callback which is fed with the commit_items array like so:

  /* Get the commit message with whatever callback function and baton
     is provided through the context */
  SVN_ERR ((*ctx->log_msg_func) (&message, &tmp_file, commit_items,
                 ctx->log_msg_baton, pool));

Each commit_item describes a change operation probably to allow the
generation of detailed log messages.

The problem with this is that I have to know all changes before creating
the commit editor.

Maybe I didn't completely understand the source code. Then I would be
grateful if someone gave me some explanations.

 From how I understood that code a better approach would be to let the
commit callback construct the message.

Best regards
Dirk
