And another reason is because I do fuss about them too ;-) It is easy to tell a good patch from a bad one by just reading the message without actually reading the patch text itself. When the log message justifies the cause and the approach in the right way, the actual patch becomes self evident. Also I often find myself coming up with a _better_ solution than the patch I originally prepared while writing the commit log message to explain it, and redoing the patch text to match the description. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
