so put the rev number into the body of the message, but please remove it from the subject line.
I find that the subject line on our CVS commits don't contain useful information based on files alone as it only usually lists the files from the last directory that was modified. So, if you only sort by the subject and multiple directories were changed in a commit, the subject is not accurate.
At least the revision number helps to make it accurate. Subversion takes a view that the entire repository is grouped together (or at least a set of directories given our layout and config here), while CVS treats individual files separately. So, the revision number maps well to Subversion as when it sends a commit email it is saying, 'the repository changed to revision XXX.' The fact that a bunch of files or directories changed is irrelevant in Subversion.
So, count me -0 to removing the rev number from the subject line. -- justin
