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.
