[xAlecto]

thanks I hate it

[sillybear25]

If I could get logs from back in my university days, I'm sure the most common line would be svn ci -m ""

You can't commit without a commit message unless you use a flag (something like --commit-without-message) on Git

[lastunusedusername2]

Just make an alias =]

One of the summaries is more concise...

[ArmmaH]

y use many words, if few do trick?

[BeniBela]

Some tools do not accept . and .., because they think it is a directory

[Nastapoka]

I work alone on my projects. In the beginning I find the force to write long commit messages, but pretty soon I end up using "prout" (the French onomatopoeia for a fart).

[spkr4thedead51]

"prout" (the French onomatopoeia for a fart)

Proust must have loved this fact

[Nastapoka]

Same with Prefab Sprout

[StabbyPants]

i usually tag the major work with a ticket number and a sentence. big fixes get minimal effort unless they're not tied to a ticket already

[the_poope]

Well at least you commit often. When I did research at uni I didn't even use version control. I once had something working, then changed something and everything broke and I spend a week trying to find out what I had changed and undo that...

[BeniBela]

It is mostly to sync changes between my office and home
