Yes, that's correct. With a sane commit history it works quite reasonably.
It's a bit of a hassle but any out-of-band information is by definition a nonzero hassle to find unless a tool does it for you.
Also, "potentially relevant commits" are just all commits that change that line or lines. Following this principle, there is no justification to make a change where you can't document why it is so.
- WalterGR 5y agoFollowing this principle, there is no justification to make a change where you can't document why it is so. So the comments in the commit messages are an explanation / justification of changes, and they don’t replace code comments? That just seems like “how you’re supposed to do it” and wouldn’t address code comments not being revised when necessary.
