I do not mind URL in the commit log; it would help me or other forgetful
people three months from now if we need to go back to the original
discussion.

I however agree with Dscho that it is irritating when somebody uses URL to
avoid summarizing the issue himself.  If somebody cares enough and
understands the issues discussed at URL to come up with a patch that is
worth applying, he surely should be able to summarize the primary idea and
issues involved in a few paragraphs.

A summary of discussion in addition to URL would save everybody's time.
