CVS syncmail commit messages not picked up

We have the XDoclet JIRA set up to automatically pick up issue numbers in the CVS commit mails that get sent out, and add the CVS log message as comments to the issue. (Don't ask me how, Aslak set it up.)

Unfortunately, only the file modifications are being picked up. I added a bunch of new files to CVS a couple of nights ago, and nothing appeared in the issue. Also, Aslak tried a few tests on issue XDT-55 and only the modified file showed up in the comments. "looks like JIRA doesn't know how to pick up "new file" messages. A JIRA bug I'd say." he said. So I'm reporting it...
