I review a large number of patches on a typical day, and usually I have to
spend a fair amount of time to just understand what the patch is doing.  As
the patch author, you can do a lot to help make this easier by *writing
better commit messages*.  Starting now, I'm going to try out a new practice
for a while: I'm going to first review the commit message of all patches,
and if I can't understand what the patch does by reading the commit message
before reading any of the code, I'll r- and ask for another version of the
patch.

I thank you in advance for your cooperation by writing great commit
messages.  Happy hacking!

Cheers,
