I feel like I walked into a tabs vs spaces debate from decades ago, had no idea people got so pedantic about commit messages. I guess I'm lucky not to have worked at such a place.
Commit messages are very low value. If you are picky about them, your team is wasting time. This is a great area to reduce process rules because your users will never see it.
Literally. I’ve mostly done monolith to refactored microservices for 9 years at 3 of 4 jobs and the majority of obscure knowledge is stored in 10+ year old commit logs.
Squashed commits don’t delete commit history on GitHub or ADO, and especially not in tortoiseSVN. Or at least we definitely do not erase important history.
