hum, however this information is interesting...
Note that for those users the message will be::

  added 60 changesets with 173 changes to 314 file
  60 changesets changed phases

So, to prevent confusion this line may be omitted if all added changesets are
changed to "publish".
And/or the message may be 'published 60 changesets'.
