please put what you did in your commit messages

not an inside joke
not a reference to a private discussion
not a sarcastic reference to something that requires a lot of background to understand you're just kidding
not something grandiose to be cute over something that's super minor

or if you do, still just put it clearly at the end

thank,

the person digging through very old commit logs without the benefit of archived dev discussion or easy access to the diffs

@pamela is there any way to put the most relevant filename shown next to the commit message, this would make it much easier to interpret?..

@jasper Nah, just all the files touched as a set. I can usually guess which one had the part of the diff I need if I want to trace it back to try to interpret what happened, but ick. :flan_laugh:
