Version control only answers "what happened?" not "why did this happen?"
- pm215 8y ago"Why" is what commit messages are for (and also comments); quality of commit message is worth checking in code review while the details are still fresh in everybody's minds...
- baq 8y agoso i have to run blame just to figure out why something happened? i usually ask for explanations both in comments and commit messages.
