question about committing to a branch

[Michael Bishop]

I'm helping resurrect the branch for the AtomPub branch that was
started a few months ago. michaeltwofish is actually providing the
patches, I'm just the surrogate of sorts, hoping to learn a few things
along the way. My question is this, should I mention in the commit
log that it's for the branch? Obviously trac will show that it's
going to the branch, but quick glance at the log in IRC or in a feed
doesn't specifically say it's a commit to branch, and I don't want to
confuse anyone.

Most SVN announcement bots on IRC that I've seen mention the file(s) that have been changed -- i.e. 2 changed files in /trunk/system/, or something like that. I'm almost certain CIA (http://cia.vc/ ) does this, and it's completely automated -- just plug in the URL for the repository and it either checks periodically or is triggered by an email (most ideally from the -svn mailing list).
