OUTCH!!!
Any chance you could be a little more informative with messages like this,
please?
The message as it stands suggests "I have just committed a fix as revision
66bb95...". The id 66bb95..., like all ids in git, carries no context,
no age, no nothing.
Better would have been to use the "present perfect" tense: "Should have
been fixed in 66bb95...", which would have placed the action of fixing
in the non-immediate past.
Better still would have been to give details of the fix, something like
"Should have been fixed in 66bb953... by Alan Mackenzie in August, title
line "Make ">>" act as double template ender in C++ Mode."".
Possibly the best thing of all would have been to construct an Eric
Raymond style commit identifier, but I haven't got the syntax memorised
yet.
Any of these would have prevented me errupting in uncalled-for panic and
fury.
Thanks!
