Actually, that is the difference.  It is a design
simplification/optimization that causes pserver (and other client/server
modes) to only request a single log message and use it for all directories
being committed.

The alternatives involve requesting one message, then making the user wait
on possibly slow network transactions, then asking for the next, or asking
for all the messages up front and presenting the user with a list of files
with obscure names in /tmp containing log messages for reuse on commit
failure, and so on.
