[Bioc-devel] svn commit fails

[James W. MacDonald]

I was under the impression that they were - or at least the impression 
of one using svn commit -m "".

However, do note that your commit messages end up in the changelog with 
the intent that this information might be useful to people who either 
use or depend on your package, so incomprehensible and/or missing commit 
messages are both less than useful (and will not be useful to you in the 
future either, unless you have an eidetic memory and have no need for 
such crutches).

Best,

Jim
