Well I tend to disagree here. I see a commit message as a way to convey important notes about a commit. The files touched by a commit are listed, and the repository is there for anybody to see, if one is interested in the details. Let's not bury an important key note beneath a mountain of details. I would like to avoid to have to write a line like this - add a patch file to fix an include line that used the deprecated header alloc.h instead of stdlib.h for a patch file like this - #include <alloc.h> + #include <stdlib.h> Let's please keep things slim and functional :) -- Pietro Cerutti The FreeBSD Project [email protected] PGP Public Key: http://gahr.ch/pgp
