Actually, at work we have certain conventions in terms of what commit 
messages we use. So, if you're working on animation code, you use 
"CODE_ANIM", if you're checking in animation work, you use "ANIM", and 
so forth. If we simply define a set of conventions that we consistently 
use, we should be able to build a change log for a sub-project directly 
from the SVN commit messages.
