As said before, I use them all the time through git log | grep "whatever I am looking for" or the interactive git log then "/" for searching inside the less command; I find it useful to a point that I have moved to this style for all my coding projects. So as far as I am concerned, they are tremendously useful. Well, that may be due to a lack of git knowledge, of course! But while in other projects I often find I need to look at the content of commits, in Guix it is often enough to just look at the changelog. Andreas
