This is a plea for people to provide helpful checkin messages, that
describe what the actual checkin does.
The following are examples of messages that I consider useless:
- Fix for Collector #123.
- Merge from HEAD.
- Oh I forgot that one.
- (empty)
Remember that checkin messages are often read without the context of the
patch itself, for instance when using ViewCVS, when doing cvs log, or
when using rcs2log.
