> It would be nice for git to have some kind of "commit of commits" which allows a hierarchical representation of commits. Ie. the "Add new printscreen feature" could have as subcommits "Create print renderer" and "Hook up print UI". These are usually called feature branches. > "Added function xyz()" or "Adjusted constant FOO to 27" or "Made lots of changes in file a.c,, b.c and c.c". These are very poor commit messages that don't add anything of value; any diff viewer will tell you the same immediately, so you might as well leave it blank. > Commiting frequently also has a substantial cost of needing to think of a commit message. In larger, private feature branches I'll use loads of "asdf" commits that I will later squash together. These are my "ok, so far so good" points to make figuring out where I broke something easier.
