I believe pre-commit is too late for the specific feature I was
referring to.

That means when working on *any* task, you would branch and then commit
each change along the way to the solution. Then a log dump against the
branch root revision would give you back all your change notes that
you'd include in your merge against trunk.

**Note: I don't consider this any kind of issue, so don't anyone get too
riled up about it. It's something I saw and thought I'd throw out to the
group.
