The paths and add delete actions are taken care of by the default svn
mail hook script. It is recommended to set it up. As far as log messages
go, you should describe exactly what changes did u do in that revision.
If that revision is a commit after a merge, it's a good idea to copy and
paste the merge command in the log.

Subject: Commit log messages: Best practices?

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone has any tips for best practices in composing
commit messages. Should we require that authors note their name with
commits, or is that a job for svnlook? How specific should you be about
file paths, adds, removes, etc? I thought about something like the
following:

svn ci -m "[joeblow] Added project2/ to /svn/projects"
svn ci -m "[janeblow] Updated menu functionality in
/svn/projects/project1/menu.js"
svn ci -m "[johnblow] First version of template complete in
/svn/projects/project1"

Any suggestions will be welcome. Thanks,

Ben
