IntelliJ: change the default commit message

I'm not sure I did something stupid that my IntelliJ does it, but when I commit changes to SVN, I always have the same predefined commit message in the text area ("resized image"), which is annoying . (VERY light gray)

Does anyone know how I can get rid of this or why this happened?

In the "Versioning" and "Confirmation" sections, you have a check button: "Clear message about initial commit."

This might be the best solution if you want to always have an empty text box for entering a commit message. Otherwise, you can modify this file.

I fixed this by editing the .idea / workspace.xml file in the following line:

<list default="true" readonly="true" id="..." name="Default" comment="CHANGE DEFAULT MESSAGE HERE"> 

Thanks to Boguslav Burgard for pointing out the correct file for editing.
