Maybe, but I don't think so. How would one determine which commits add features - perhaps a special stanza in the message, e.g. #feature. What about new features that span multiple commits, or if you forget to mention the new feature in the commit message. I tend to make commit messages developer focused, i.e. "add foo_bar function", not user focused.
