Subject: ChangeLog and commit messages
Date: Sun, 18 Jun 2023 15:14:50 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87a5wxb5sl.fsf@yahoo.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 87a5wxb5sl.fsf.ref@yahoo.com

I find myself often frustrated that Git requires a commit title.  In
such a title, committers are expected to summarize in detail changes to
dozens of different functions in less than 74 characters of text.

Normally, the place for such descriptions would be in ChangeLog and not
the commit message title.  Would it be possible to allow writing commit
messages consisting solely of ChangeLog, forgoing the commit title
entirely?

Thanks.
