Deeply strange to me that you can think that they're the "most important form of documentation" and then propose to put the documentation elsewhere.

- ajuc 3y agoJIRA contains more context than you can put in even most elaborate comment. For example links to duplicates, test cases, screenshots, core dumps, discussion with testers/customers, etc. And it's updated over time. Would you change the commit message if a tester noticed something about your explanation of the bug was wrong but the fix still works? Additionally the context is already there in the JIRA, retyping it in detail in a different format into the commit message is more friction for little benefit.
