It means one has to do extra work when scanning the output of svn log. We
have test cases in core code as well as bindings nowadays.

OK, we disagree here. test-list might be redundant, but that's not what
makes the message longer. I personally like the style where everything is
in the log message. I hope you don't think I picked on you just because
you broke some rule.
OK, let's stop this now. We can certainly do more productive things than
arguing about log message style, and we most often do.
