Thanks for the quick review. Using the commit message definitely makes
sense, I will add those fields back to the event for creating a flow version.
I think we could support an option to override the commit message as part
of the CLI commands, most likely an optional argument on the
import-flow-version command. Eventually it would be nice to have some kind of
tags (or a better name) that can be put on flows/items, and then the tags could
be used to create these kinds of workflows, but obviously that would be a
longer term effort and using the commit message is a nice option for right now.
I'll keep going on my branch with adding the author and comment fields and
unit tests and then try and get something posted. Thanks for getting the ball
rolling on this, it should be really helpful for users.
