@ -238,6 +238,9 @@ Commit messages should:
* Contain a reference to a relevant issue number in the body of the commit.
* This is important for traceability; while branch names also provide this,
you cannot tell from looking at a commit what branch it was authored on.
* This may be omitted if the relevant issue is otherwise obvious from the
commit history (that is, if using `git log` from the relevant commit
directly leads to a similar issue reference) to minimize clutter.
* Describe the change that was made, and any useful rationale therefore.
* Comments in code should explain what things do, commit messages describe
how they came to be done that way.
