I tend to tie my commits to JIRA by prefixing the first line of my commit
with the JIRA ticket to which it applies. How does everyone feel about
following that pattern? I hate to institute extra stuff on folks, but for
various reasons I spend time in commit logs and there are times when I have
the worst time mapping a commit to a particular JIRA (which typically holds
the details that I need related to the change itself). It would save me a
ton of time if folks included the JIRA id as a prefix on the commit.

It doesn't need to be perfect. I don't think that we need to go to lengths
of forcing new contributors to re-cast PRs if they don't include the prefix
or anything like that, but for those of us who are committers to the
project I'm wondering if there are any objections to trying to adhere to
that approach.

Maybe this doesn't even really need discussion or objection so much - for
now, perhaps it's just a request from me to change up your commit flow to
make traceability a bit easier in our project.

Anyway, thanks for reading...

Stephen
