svn-commit.tmp. How is it intended to be used?

Hi, I just began to use subversion and I don't I understand how I'm suppose
to use this svn-commit.tmp file. I've spent some hours trying to find
information about it. The only good clue I've got is from wikipedia. Still,
something must have escaped me.

> ls
joe
> echo hello > joe
> svn commit

Log message unchanged or not specified
a)bort, c)ontinue, e)dit

Vim pops up and opened svn-commit.tmp. I edited the file:

This is a test for joe
--This line, and those below, will be ignored--

M joe

Then I hit 'c'

sending joe
Transmitting file data .
Commited revision 2
>svn log joe

>svn log -v joe

Changed paths:
   A /test1/joe

------------------------------------------------------------------------
>ls
joe

Where is the log message from svn-commit.tmp? Can someone help explaining
what that svn-commit.tmp is for?

Thank you in advance
