Subject: 24.4.50; vc commit truncates message to the first line
Date: Thu, 25 Sep 2014 18:44:50 +0200

When I commit to svn using vc-next-action and provide a multiline
message, it gets truncated. Only the first line lands in the log.

I checked through variable vc-command-message, that the message
is passed through the -m switch, which seems a bit dirty for a multiline
message.

For me a serious bug - after months of work I lost a lot of log
messages.

This was already reported as part 2 in bug #1647: "vc-bzr commit bug on 
win32".

We should use the -F switch instead.  Multi-line command lines on
Windows are tricky at best, and unworkable at worst.

Can you propose a patch for that?

Thanks.

Hi Eli.

I'm sorry, but I had to back out from programming hobby. So now it's 
only a bug report.
