As you say, I normally try very hard with my changelogs, but I don't
think the odd joke hurts much.
Look back over the changelog to a similar, but even more concise commit
message, a couple of weeks back that didn't go through Anthony. I was
parodying that one :-)
Anyway, you've cc-ed me now, so IMHO:
- If one is so inclined, improving a commit message before pushing is
perfectly fine
- A simple "Applied, thanks" would be hugely appreciated
- This "apply everything, test at length, reject problematic patches"
appears to lead to a very batchy patch flow; there's a trade off to
be made between trying to catch every regression before it hits the
tree and the delay that effort introduces before the tree gets more
widely tested by others
Cheers,
Mark.
