Hi, if you write a debian/changelog entry for every change you do, you can use "debcommit" (part of the devscripts package) to very easily create useful commit messages. From the debcommmit manpage:
debcommit generates a commit message based on new text in debian/changelog,
and commits the change to a package’s repository. It must be run in a working
copy for the package. Supported version control systems are: cvs, git, hg
(mercurial), svk, svn (subversion), baz, bzr, tla (arch).
So basically, instead of "svn ci -m 'some stupid text'" you do "debcommit"
(or "debcommit -C"), which I think is easier to type and gives better
results.
I'm in love with it since I discovered it some months ago.
regards,
Holger (who just read all commits from the last workshop)
