Those Link: things need to have a *reason*. Saying "they are a change ID" is not a reason. That's just a random word-salad. You need to have an active reason that you can explain, not just say "look, I want to add a message ID to every commit". Here's the thing. There's a difference between "data" and "information". We should add information to the commits, not random data. And most definitely not just random data that can be trivially auto-generated after-the-fact. Linus
