Re: [Monotone-devel] Monotone Commit Template

Hello Pablo,

I'm not quite sure what exactly the use case for such a template is. The 
example you gave is certainly not convincing:

A Purchase Requisition number? Or what's that PR supposed to mean? 
Anyway, IMO it's better practice to add application specific 
certificates, instead of embedding such information in the changelog. 
Makes it a lot easier to process later on.

I suppose, at least one of these is already covered by the 'author' 
certificate. And again, for everything else I also recommend 
certificates rather than stuffing that into the changelog.


To me, this sounds much more like a request for making these things 
simpler to use, i.e. sending a request for approval of a newly committed 
revision to somebody else or stuff like that.
