Hmmm.  I find the $Log:$ comments very useful and would hate to loose that 
feature.  I don't understand what you mean by them creating differences.  I 
would expect the comments to create differences.  That is if someone adds a 
change and a log comment is created for that change then the source code 
change and the log comment would be the difference, correct?  I'm guessing 
this is not what you're referring to.

Thanks,
Nick
