No, I used to and plan to again read `git log` and all commit messages, and would not read the diff unless interesting. The information on what files changed (maybe files I care about particularly?) and approximately how they changed is something I did want to have an overview of. No, I would not like this, although I currently do not anymore follow all the commits, so I would not disapprove either. I don’t care about duplicates of what changed, when it was in the commit message already, though. I don’t think ChangeLog style requires this. Regards, Florian
