That's why I find > Commit history a useful thing. As a user all I ever use is Commit history. And I hate projects that say 'look at git.' Impersonating an ‘average user,’ “What the fuck is git? Screw this I’ll find something else!” And while I’m on the topic of git, please, never, ever, put user documentation in git. Utter fail. Users are the best source of keeping user docs up to date, force them to use git, or similar, and they take a walk from the entire project (unless they are forced to use it). If someone has a friend who does UIX, please have them look at the final change proposal.
