By “comments section” do you mean the “Summary of changes” text field?

There isn’t any support for what I think you’re asking -- but it can  
probably be added.

Likely your problem with the EDITOR stuff comes from treating the  
result incorrectly (not handling proper escaping etc.).

If ‘res’ is the result from calling CommitWindow.app then you can do:

     res   = Shellwords.shellwords(res)
     msg   = res[1]
     files = res[2..-1]

Now ‘msg’ is the commit message and ‘files’ is an array of the files  
to commit. But when calling svn, you’ll need to use e_sh for ‘msg’  
and each file.

If you need further help, please be more specific of what your end  
goal here is.
