Miscellaneous jar improvements

[Martin Buchholz]

It was bugging me that hg log only shows the first line of the description,
when the full description is usually what you want.
Anyways, I just added the hg alias below in my .hgrc,
and seems to make me happier.

[alias]
logv = log --template='changeset:
{rev}:{node|short}\n{branches}{tags}{parents}user:
{author}\ndate:        {date|date}\n{desc}\n\n'
