Having source code that doesn't show changes with dates is
pretty useless for diagnostics. I realize that git has the
changes but the source code should.
If some code is added or changed it is very simple to add the
date of change in a comment.
// Date: Date1, Date2, Date3, ....
Anything below a was changed at those dates.
Why not also add a link to the git hub patch or bugzilla or
whatever?
Git is the tool that's used to manage changes, including viewing
the changes.
A lot of dev time has gone into it and it works really well.
Some ad hoc comment system in source code to point out changes
will never be as good.
Just Use Git!
