As a non-svn'er (although I do use it quite heavily for myself), and a
moderately heavy cvs user, I am neutral on this specific change,
although I do lean toward the atomic transaction of the svn side.

A non-binding -0 if this is for commons alone.  A -1 if this would be
apache-wide.  The most important piece of information to me is the
module/dir first, then the date/version second.

Due to the fact that in CVS, revision numbers are per-file, and in
Subversion, they're per-repository.  Due to technical reasons, you
*can't* do this with CVS's commit mailer.

How am I forcing my opinion on the community?  I stated my preference
and my reasons, and you stated your preference and your reasons.  Cast
it up to a vote and go with the consensus--that's the way to do it here,
isn't it?  It's not my fault if commons is littered with Subversion
people who share my preference! :-)
