Personally, I'd rather see a text summary of the commit (plus commit
ID) so I don't have to follow a commit ID unless I really want the
details.  Something like:

"A new GPMC NAND infrastructure was added by commit foo.  This patch
updates Overo NAND functionally to work with those changes."

or similar.  Since the changelogs become permanent git history, it's
important that they be descriptive and useful long after the initial
commits are done and we've all forgotten about the details.

Yes, with a good changelog.  ;)
