Thanks for calling me out. (Not making excuses, but...) I remembered some other senior members having such commit messages, so I felt like I had to step up my game. https://public-inbox.org/git/70fbcd573f5c8a78a19a08ffc255437c36e7f49d.1495014840.git.mhagger@xxxxxxxxxxxx/ > > How about: > > The functionality to list tree objects in the order they were seen > while traversing the commits will be used in the next commit, > where we teach `git describe` to describe not only commits, but > trees and blobs, too. Sounds good. If only we had git-when-merged[1] as some easy upstream function, then the original commit message would provoke less hate as future us would have an easier time finding the next commit. [1] https://github.com/mhagger/git-when-merged When writing the patch I wondered if this could be useful for other use cases as well, i.e. do we want to have a command line argument to trigger this behavior? Thanks, Stefan
