It would be useful to tag the autogenerated commit messages as [LLM] or something. That way I could at least know the author didn't write this themselves, and decode it accordingly. Humans and LLMs both make mistakes, but they make different styles of mistakes
Also, it seems a tool like this would be much better suited to help someone who wants more fluff understand a terse git history, than to rewrite the history. That way, you'd benefit from any later improvements of the model rather than freeze comments at whatever level of slop was the state of the art of the day
- KurSix 11mo agoThis is the perfect product description for how a tool like this should actually work. Not git-rewrite-history, but something like git-explain-commit <hash>. It would take the diff, run it through an LLM at request time, and give you a summary. And yes, with an [Generated by Model XYZ] tag right at the top. This would preserve the integrity of the history while giving us all the power of AI to analyze it, without the downsides of permanent changes and fossilized AI slop
