[PATCH] svk commit -m 'bla bla' --template

This patch adds a "--template" option to all of the svk commands  
which take -m/-F.  When used, it tells svk that any -m or -F argument  
should be interpreted as a template: that is, the editor is invoked,  
but with whatever value is specified by -m/-F already filled in.  (-- 
template is ignored if neither -m nor -F is specified.)  Note that  
there's no sort of "substitution" in this template; perhaps there  
should be.  If so, perhaps clkao should decree "the future syntax for  
templates might look like this" and we can document that if you use  
such a syntax, it might mean something in the future.

For proof that this is useful, attached is "rt-commit", a script  
which you run like:
  $ rt-commit TICKETNUMBER [ other args to commit ]
which runs "svk commit" with a tempate of
  RT-Ticket: TICKETNUMBER
  RT-Status: resolved
  RT-Update: correspond
for those of us using RT with svn integration.  (Allowing -m/-F with  
rt-commit, alternate statuses, etc, is an exercise for the reader.)
