I use the message history all the time in TCVS.
In an ideal world, one new feature/change in my software would only require
a single atomic SVN commit, but in the real world, I often have to make more
commits later that add missing pieces of the new/changed feature, but don't
require new messages, since they're part of the same issue. Or sometimes I
use a modified version of the original message, like "Added feature X
(forgot foo)".
In a similar "real development isn't as atomic as SVN would like to have it"
way, I often work on multiple features at once. Sometimes it's possible to
use separate working copies for those, but often that's not feasible. So for
example I have file #1 which has changes for feature A, file #2 which has
changes for features A and B, and file #3 which has changes for feature B
only. Since I don't want file #1 to have log messages about feature B, I
commit those three files separately, which means I have to use the same
message parts twice.
