In previous versions it was a bad idea because:
a) there was only one comment history for all repositories
b) there was no offline check for mods, apart from a dummy commit
Now that both those improvements have been made, persisting the text
would not be so bad.

Also note that Joseph is requesting this after a commit _fails_ not
after it is _cancelled_ by the user. If another dev has commited in the
time it took you to write the log message, then your commit will fail.
After updating, you are almost guaranteed to want to retry the same
commit, with the same message.

All the same, I am not convinced that it is needed, because the history
combo is 'only a mouse-click away'.

+0 from me.
