Hi folks, I've been going through the commits in preparation for our release notes, and unfortunately what I'm seeing is that the number of empty or incomplete commit messages has noticeably increased over previous releases. Commit messages are vitally important to providing a readable history, not just in support of preparing release notes, but also if you're trying to track down a regression or any other reason you might want to go back and find out what has been done and most importantly *why*.
Here are our commit message guidelines, which have been in place for some time: http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/Commit_Patch_Message_Guidelines I know everyone's busy, but please take 5 minutes to read these if you haven't recently and try to keep them in mind when writing commit messages. No commit is too trivial for a complete commit message.
