I'm reading the comments here and thinking I'm some outdated greybeard. Do people actually spend more time now trying to write commit messages than doing actual work? I would never put any of my teams to do something like this, do actual developers LIKE spending more time to actually write these messages? Is code today so hard to understand and read (what about comments) that you need these things for reviews?
