Yes, it is an administrator function of the 'cvs admin' command.
Look at the '-m rev:msg' option.

I am given to understand that the Atlassian folks believe in Open Source
(http://opensource.atlassian.com/). Perhaps you can get them to either
fix Jira to work correctly or provide a framework for you and others
to contribute the changes to do the right thing to the world at large.

If this is not possible, perhaps selection of an open source product
would meet your needs.

Many folks have integrated both GNATS and BUGZILLA with CVS over the
years just to mention two projects that might be worth consideration.

Of course, GNATS and BUGZILLA are primarily bug tracking systems rather
than issue tracking systems.

Other open source issue trackers:

    http://www.gnu.org/software/gnats/
    http://www.bugzilla.org/
    http://www.netbeans.org/kb/articles/issuezilla.html
    http://sourceforge.net/projects/issue-tracker/
    http://java-source.net/open-source/issue-trackers
    http://opensourcetesting.org/bugdb.php
    http://www.issuetrackerproduct.com/
    http://trac.edgewall.org/
    http://www.websina.com/bugzero/
    http://scarab.tigris.org/

There are probably lots of others, have fun.
