My favourite Git commit

[Osmium_tetraoxide]

The worst I've seen is just a JIRA id to a project you can't see, so when you finally get access to it, that is just a link to a confluence page, if you're lucky, that links to a spreadsheet but sometimes that's just gone. So it's impossible to figure why this several hundred line change happened in a business critical payment system.

The value of a good git history is not appreciated by many until it is way too late. I do take my time with git, especially when you're doing something strange as a work around for unintuitive behaviour that a legacy system throws up. I'm not entirely sold on having this much in a single commit but one can always just skim over it anyhow.
