Bug#249683: Recommendation for wontfix/close

I have to disagree that this is a common operation - most people use an
editor to compose their log messages, rather than composing them on the
command line.

A full implementation of this feature encounters complexities such as
how to handle commits and log additions across multiple directories and
files, commits of specific files with log entries registered on their
parent directories, hot to amalgamate multiple log fragments, and a
whole new UI to support the editing and deletion of stored log fragments.

Therefore, I feel confident in predicting that it is vanishingly
unlikely that this feature would ever be implemented, when simple use of
'vi mylog' as necessary accomplishes more-or-less the same goals.

Max.
