Not picking on Michael here.  Just a good example of a bad commit msg:

  commit 3972deb90c4b645fb4d207a7e132cd7e180e78bb
  Author: Michael Adam <obnox at samba.org>
  Date:   Thu Jan 3 00:51:36 2008 +0100

    Use a better parameter name.

    Michael

As we are preparing to make the release management less
technical and more management, these types of commits msgs are
impossible to decode.  Please take the time to be more
descriptive.  Thanks.





cheers, jerry
