Is anyone really going to do that? Personally I only use -m if I have
a very short message, usually something that fits in one sentence. I'm
not even sure if I'd use -s for summary, I think at that point it's
easier to just fire up a text editor.

So I propose:

3) If you want to enter multiple lines use a text editor, in fact bzr
does this for you! (or use your shell)

I'm +1 on the idea in general though, just being picky :)

cheers
