In my opinion, we do not need to care about typos etc. We are human |
| 27 |
beings, so mistakes are part of our lives. Being able to fix |
| 28 |
post-generated changelogs will increase the size of $VCS since |
| 29 |
Changelogs need to be placed to $VCS for editing after generation and |
| 30 |
having a smart deduplication algorithm on the server side to filter |
| 31 |
duplicate messages. This is a bit stupid. If you make a mistake on |
| 32 |
your commit message, that's fine. Be careful next time. |
