It would be great if you could describe in your commit message what  
you did, in addition to listing any relevant ticket numbers. For  
example, in this case, I would have written "gvpe: updated to 2.22 and  
took maintainership with openmaintainer; closes #22149". This makes it  
much easier when scanning the svn log to get an understanding of what  
has been happening with a port. If only ticket numbers are listed in  
the log messages, that means I have to take a detour to the issue  
tracker to find out what changed, and it makes it a lot more tedious  
if I'm reading the log because I'm trying to find out when a  
particular change occurred in a port.


You can retroactively change your commit messages if you'd like to add  
more detail or correct mistakes. For example, to change the above log  
message, you would type

svn propedit --revprop svn:log -r 59650 .
