haha wait do you actually read long commit messages( more than a line) all the way through? like line-by-line, imo commit msg = tweet, git note = blog post.

In my line of work a bug could cost multiple millions. I do read them. I write long ones. I would love if my colleagues started writing longer ones too.

If you don't expect people to read commit messages, why would you expect that they'd read notes?

That seems more complicated than just adding the info in the commit message. It's not like Git doesn't have flags for trimming commit messages when reading them (--oneline).
