Thanks to those who took the time to improve their commit messages.    
I saw a lot more commit messages with good explanations, which made  
it much easier to catch up with the state of the system after being  
away for a week.

I still saw some log messages whose entire contents are "Fixed bug  
xxxx".  It would have been really helpful to know what bug xxxx was  
right there in the message log.   I know that it is more effort to  
put additional detail into these messages, but it saves each reader  
of the message from having to go to bugzilla to find out if the bug  
being fixed is relevant to a particular part of the system.

Ted
