I agree; this would probably be pretty helpful. You should add a

request

for this feature to the bugzilla. This probably needs to be more

generic

though. You could use an option with the default being the current functionality.

Does anyone in this email list have commit access to SVN?

I know this feature needs to go through bugzilla, but it would be nice if the people doing the commiting see the email chain concerning features we need added.

V/r,
