Sorry to butt in to the conversation but I would just like to ask a question
given this response. :-)

Given what you have said, what do you feel is the role of commit comments
within Google Code compared to simply replying to a commit email?

We frequently have this confusion on our project. I encourage the
development team to post comments on commits on the web-site rather than
through private email if at all possible. Just today in fact, I asked a
colleague to (re-)post the text of his email to the site as a commit
comment. To me, this seems in keeping with the spirit of Open Source and we
try to do it where possible.

It would be ideal if we allowed email responses to commits and this turned
into commit comments automatically. I seem to remember seeing a similar (if
not the same) issue but I can't find it now.

Interested to hear your thoughts.

Many thanks,

:Darren.
