That reminds me of another project. Whatever you do, do not write the commit messages like that, and your are doing great: https://github.com/BeRo1985/pasvulkan/commits/master

Not everybody treats fixing software just as an excuse for writing detailed flowery diary of the development process itself consisting entirely of artisanal, handcrafted git commit messages.

Some people just fix software to fix software and for them the whole utility of git is to be able to see how the code looked earlier or even just keeping it in case they ever want to know that. They don't write commit messages because they don't read commit messages because they'd rather read code than prose. Trying to figure out what someone meant when they wrote the comment is sometimes harder than reading the code change itself. And if you need to delve deep into the prose here's the ticket number with all the words that were exchanged that lead to this change.

Someone's doing work.
