Git commit accepts several message flags (-m) to allow multiline commits
Do people actually read commit messages? I don't have much experience working on large projects with a larger team, but I keep repositories both for personal things and work so I can look at older versions. I have however never actually looked at my own commit messages, even though I try to keep them informative. I instead search through commits based on strings added/removed or file paths touched.
As such, multiline commit messages (whether added on the command line or via the editor) seem doubly pointless to me.I would be curious to hear how others view this.
