Hi folks, With due respect, I would like to request all the committers and contributors to write better commit message. [0]
For example, a good commit message: https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=incubator-cloudstack.git;a=commit;h=384c03e42578f17432a483d5828aad64175d9c49 A good commit message subject should have something like this with 80 chars width: <Header line>: <short log description> <blank line> <body of commit message, explain things why, what, how, etc. giving background> <bulleted points help> <blank line> <Reported-by: if it's a bug> <Reviewed-by: if it was reviewed> <Signed-off: turn on signature in your .gitconfig> This is what we follow on http://git.videolan.org/?p=vlmc.git;a=shortlog and they are crazy about commits and patches, they just don't accept junk messages, even if code is fine. You may check, there is no or few reverts. When something breaks, I check all last commits and do a git log -p <file> to go through recent changes to a file, in case I think something broke I like to identify the changes that may have caused it instead of fixing it which may introduce further problems. I use tig and zsh to regularly follow commits and read commit messages. Also, please fix your editors and follow coding conventions.

I had to email about it as we're uncool with our git commit habits, we are doing triple or quadruple reverts, we need to fix our habits. https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=incubator-cloudstack.git;a=commit;h=7bcbae5e91a4cd122d0efa7f2542eab73debb6df https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=incubator-cloudstack.git;a=commit;h=c49f3beccfcd1257eca1ea06606fb55b3fdf5093 https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=incubator-cloudstack.git;a=commit;h=66daa1a2bc6e86adea265a8a0b8b512756c8f77c https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=incubator-cloudstack.git;a=commit;h=828fa3389bbe7cd0378c4e55152d671932badca2 https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=incubator-cloudstack.git;a=commit;h=bb7f9ad9774019f4fdb4d72b2e32a36df9c89188 https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=incubator-cloudstack.git;a=commit;h=75e2a1012fccc01c639c7f41be564ac0e32088fb https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=incubator-cloudstack.git;a=commit;h=5078dff6e76649fbc51e2b9c003fd8e03eef18f3 https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=incubator-cloudstack.git;a=commit;h=850433240401cd318f1d8d8b0fa2032a60d52c1f
