Thomas is proposing to predefine a commit message that still need to be edited.
This seems to be the ideal solution, but I don't know if it is possible.

I don't know svn, but reading the doc, this does not seem to be
immediately possible. Either you use -m message or -f file and the
external editor is not called, or you use them and the editor is
called.

I don't know if something like this would work :
echo upgpkg: $pkgbase $pkgver-$pkgrel > /tmp/commit-log
$EDITOR /tmp/commit-log
svn commit -f /tmp/commit-log

Please correct me if I am wrong or if I am missing something :)
