I work at a place that used to prescribe this. I dislike it because it adds too much repetitive noise to the abridged git log. (It occurs to me that you may be making this point in a tongue-in-cheek way.)

Originally I suggested we put the JIRA number/link in the commit body, but then I learned about git-notes to add metadata to commits and now I kinda want to do this with the semantic labels suggested by the thread OP, too (I currently use the schema suggested at https://seesparkbox.com/foundry/semantic_commit_messages).

And I've used git nearly every day for more than a decade and written a git client, and this is the first time I've heard of notes. Thanks!

Notes kinda bloat the repository with additional objects, and they can be removed independent from the commits, so I'm a bit iffy on using them for this.

Good points to consider, thanks! It’s good to know all the tradeoffs.
