[Omake] suggestion on format of commit e-mails

[Nathaniel Gray]

The email headers already contain the committer, the module name, and  
the revision.  Maybe we could leave them out of the body, unless  
there's a possibility of them being different.  (I'm assuming the  
date could be off, otherwise leave it out too.)  As an alternative,  
maybe we could put them in as X-Subversion-... headers for those who  
want to do clever things with procmail.

Also, we might want to observe the convention that the first line of  
a commit message is a capsule summary of the changes.

Cheers,
