7 Personally, I would love it if more people tried harder to provide
8 meaningful commit messages.

10 "bup" vs "bump" isn't really achieving much, just one of the two are
11 substantially more egregious.
12
13 Perhaps, if the commit messages were crafted with clarity as their
14 intent, the consequence of accidental typos would be much more
15 inconsequential.
16
17 ( I seriously think we could do with a *little* more chiding here than
18 we generally see, but like, I'm typically just biting my tongue every
19 time somebody doesn't invest any more effort than to write the word
20 "bump" in their text editor when committing with repoman, cos I really
21 don't want to be a dick about it. There's room for more than 4
22 characters and a space in the subject, and infinitely more space in the
23 body, why do we have to choose the least clear of all options? )
24
25 Occasional accidents are still gonna happen, but it would be nice if we
26 didn't define accidents and siblings of accidents as the status quo.
