Issue 361: comment on the commit message

Today it's very easy and functional to be navigate and provide feedback to
a code review in any order.  You can review any files you wish, comment on
any lines you wish, review your comments, and revise your comments, in any
order, and even in multiple sessions.

But none of this is true for the "master" comment.  You get a single shot
to edit the master comment, when you are ready to submit.

Often times the master comment is the most important one, because it's
where you'd like to discuss global issues about the change.

It's also sometimes the *first* place you might want to make comments, if
you have comments about the changelist description.

My feature request is to make the "master" comment editable and revisable
at any time during the review process.

I have been using "line 1 of the first file" as a hack workaround for this.
 Yecch.

This seems to have been regressed sometime between 2.1.7.2 and 2.3. I don't see anyway to comment on commit messages any long, as the commit message shows up in the diff viewer as "No Differences".

Probably this was fixed by [1]. This fix was cherry-picked for the upcoming 2.4.1 release.
