Here is the scenario: I am working. I make a change to a source file. I press `C-x v v` which takes me to the *vc-log* buffer where I can enter a log message. In that buffer I type something like this: TICKET: 123 SUMMARY: implemented new function REVIEWERS: richard.stallman And then I press `C-c C-c` which then goes ahead and commits the message. Now, when I view the log message the whole thing truncates to ONLY the first line. It is as if there was a cutoff point at the first newline character. I have even went into the /lisp/vc-*.el file to do some debugging to print to the *Message* buffer the value of `comment` - which itself tells me is the whole thing, i.e.: TICKET: 123 SUMMARY: implemented new function REVIEWERS: richard.stallman But no matter what I do I only get the first line of the commit message. HOWEVER, on an alternate machine (that is, I use two machines at work and used to work on this older machine I am about to talk of) if I use the EXACT same version of emacs `(GNU Emacs 24.3.1 (i386-mingw-nt6.1.7601) of 2013-03-17 on MARVIN)` I can check out the exact same repo in SVN, make a change to the same file and do the process again. And - bang - it commits and when I run an svn log --limit 1 - I get the entire commit message WITH the newline characters. In order to iron out any possible variables, I have ran emacs -q on both the machines. I have ran a diff on all el/elc files in /lisp/ in both emacs installation directories. I have verified the versions of emacs with `C-h C-a`. I have also ensured the the SVN binary produces the same result with svn --version: sure enough, on both systems they are exactly the same version. Am I going mad? ** Windows 7 (unfortunately at work). The machine where I am only getting one liners is a HP Z420, the other one is not. It is just a HP EliteDesk - again, running the same operating system and same instruction-set processor etc.
