We've already told clients for a long time to ignore fields they don't know about, why would we not store what's intended to be machine-readable key-value pair data in the commit object itself, as opposed to sticking it in the log message where parsing it is always going to be a bit more tricky & distracting, since users will have to look at this arbitrary metadata when they do "git log" or "git show". -- 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
