Using a marker line would allow for commit messages to contain any content

For example:
==========
[commit message goes here, any character accepted]

### End comment

Enter comments on this check-in.  Lines below the last '### End comment'
are ignored

 user: <user>
 tags: trunk

 EDITED     ...
============

Thanks

Steve
