FYI: With r212, mgar [1] just learned about an automatic path prefix for
commit log messages. Example:

$ pwd
/home/skayser/mgar/pkg/colortail/trunk
$ mgar commit -m "foo"

This will send a commit with a log message of "colortail/trunk: foo". No
need to specify the prefix manually (if you do, mgar won't prepend one).
This prefix has been customary for a while and makes it easier for
people who browse the devel list or the Trac timeline [2,3] to identify
commits which they might be interested in.
