Agreed.  One missing feature OTOH is a way to get from the log-edit
buffer to the patch that's being committed.  With PCL-CVS you can use
C-x c = to get it, but in general it's missing.

I'd rather just change the default value of the hook, so that users can
remove that entry from the hook if they don't want it run.
