Well said. > Most people see version control as an obstacle standing in the way of accomplishing some other task. They just want to save their progress towards some goal. In other words, they want version control to be a save file feature in their workflow. That was horrifying to me. We _religiously_ have a JIRA-XXX tag in our commits so that every commit has some kind of perspective in addition to the comment. This has been extremely useful in getting more context of why something was changed when dealing with a long lived project spanning multiple developers. Even if the commit message itself is weak or lazy we still have the user story in JIRA to get full context.
