Writing long commit messages (especially for internal/private projects) often gives me a slightly forlorn feeling, knowing that these words will almost certainly never be read again by another person, and possibly even I might never see them again. I persist only because when they do get read, they can be absolutely invaluable in explaining what on earth I was thinking at the time.

- hashhar 10y agoI really am thankful that you do write long commit messages. As a student starting out in OSS, I have had to track down why the particular piece of code is written like it and I go hunting down git blame and that really helps me. I also follow the practice when I can and hope that it helps future contributors or maintainers.
