This is just my personal opinion, but it doesn't sound very usefull to
me. You can follow a workflow like that right now, just keep an
instance of notepad open and write your comments there, then when you
commit you copy paste the text to the TSVN commit dialog.
Anyways, why not commit after each change? That way if you use blame
you could find out why a line was changed, and not a whole list of
possible reasons. It's also easier to undo changes, merge specific
changes between branches and so on.
