Hello Stefan,

Thank you for taking the time to investigate the problem.
But I'm not sure that it is impossible to do anything against, because this behavior doesn't show up always like this. I do many, many merges with revision ranges x-y where in-between are gaps (=revs that target unrelated pathes). Most of the time the commit message is setup correctly. There must be some special circumstances where it fails.

Note i.e., that the problem didn't show up when you started on a "prefabricated" repository and you didn't do the commits on the same machine (see my first test case).

Note also, that when you do not enter the Show Log dialog on the merge operations, but accept the preset revision range without confirming them in the Show Log window, the commit message which is build doesn't contain the log text at all.

Personally, I would locate the problem somewhere in the log cache, just a guess. I don't know the source code and so I don't know anything of certitude at all.

Thanks again.
