For what's it's worth, a lot of people who use version control treat it as a backup system instead of as a record of logical changes to the code base with a detailed description of what has changed and why.
- dboreham 6y agoGit has pretty much killed that practice ("merged PR xxxx" is all you get).
- u801e 6y agoGithub you mean. Prior to git, people also did similar things with svn and other VCS software.
