Most project management tools understand the concept of a log message: a short yet informative message that accompany the commit operation, which is also stored in the repository.
Before a commit operation, Patcher always builds an initial log message,
based on certain elements under your control. What happens next is
controlled the :edit-log-message project option: if t (the
default), you will be able to manually edit the log message. If
nil, Patcher will proceed directly to the next step
(see Commit Operation).
Please note that Patcher stores log messages in temporary files that may be used later by the commit command.
