Not exactly. The actual commit content is in the code difference. Code message is just some kind of human-readable abstract, or at least - a hit of what was changed.
There is a big deal of subjectivity (e.g. what is a bug, and what is a feature) but (as with any comments in the code) it is nice to see at least what was intended (e.g. someone wanted to position a misaligned button, or added it, or improved its visuals or optimized its click from O(n!) to O(1), ...).
- icebraining 11y agoThe code message is metadata, like the commit hash, date and author. It could easily be split up into different fields.
