I wrote a long, long commit message. I decided I wanted to refer to an earlier message (so I'd remember what changes happened since the last commit). I choose a "Previous Summary" from the menu. The message-text area is filled with the historical text.
Expected: I should be able to recover the message I was working on, via a control or at least via Undo.
Actual: My work on the message is destroyed.
Yikes. Added undo support in Subversion rev 5213.
It comes with a caveat: AppKit clears the undo stack when you change keyboard focus to a different UI element, so I don't know how reliable you'll find this initial implementation. We can tweak it if needed.
Thanks, Chris
