No, I didn't.  I have made one commit in the past week, with a one-liner 
log message.  This morning I used Mr. Lopez-Ibanez's advice in his 
earlier post, number 148771, entitled "broken svn commit logs and how to 
fix them" and changed the log message for revision 139145.  I haven't 
done a merge since the last time this issue came up.
