Re: [PATCH] limit commit message to 500 lines (was: Please, do not use the merged revisions log as the commit message when merging)

600 lines is *very* long (see the numbers I just sent). We do not want
such large patches in one go. They make regression hunting useless.

But yes, we could balk at the string "via svnmerge from" which I think
is "standard" in logs generated by svnmerge. Would that be acceptable?

Cheers,

Manuel.
