Would it? Well, you wrote the following two weeks ago, among other
things:
I thought we already discussed this and unconditional "#comment" has
already been declared a non starter.
This unilateral decision of yours, and the following prolonged debate
about spaces/tabs (which I clearly stated I consider a waste of time)
left me with the impression that what I think doesn't matter much
anyway. Also, it seems to me that this whole subject has already been
blown far out of proportion. If this exercise leads to the feature I
was
proposing, you guys can do whatever, and I won't slow things down by
expressing my opinions, or by continuing to formulate my own commit
messages. So much time has already been spent.
Well, is getting patches accepted to git hard and often challenging?
Absolutely. Do additional patches and discussions sprout all over the
place? They obviously do. But, does a high-profile open-source project
deserve such an approach? Without doubt.
In fact, pretty much every good software project should employ such an
approach, but that unfortunately isn't always the case.
That's how I see it.
