Sorry, I think you misunderstand me. You can print whatever you want.
That's your business and I won't get into a discussion about saving the
world.

But lets be realistic: you don't need a printout of a commit. You can
see in the log dialog what exactly you've committed, *including* the
diff (if you like) - that wouldn't be visible if you just print out the
contents of the commit dialog.

There are things which are useful to have printed out, but this is not
one of those.
