It seems doable, yes. (I’d personally miss the ability to search for an identifier in the commit log, but the overall tradeoff on a social level seems favorable to me.) FWIW, glibc dropped ChangeLog-style commit messages a few years ago. > What about the double spaces convention? Would you favor dropping it > as well? I don’t think that’s related, is it? I think few of us care whether people use two spaces in commit messages, but I’d personally be more picky in text snippets because I find it clearer… Maybe the greatest common denominator (ah ha!) is a proposal to change commit messages, where people are free to choose between two-spaces or not?
