I think the point was mostly that 'lol' or 'meh' is a completely useless comment. It's true that there's a lot of room for improvements in the given example. Still, they do provide some context to people who actually understand the application they are working on.
Does anyone know of good open source project that uses Git messages extremely well that we could use as an example?
Git's commit log is probably the most detailed and informative log I've ever seen. And it's a bit fun to have a glance at Linus Torvald's old initial commits from 2005 :-)
(You might want to check the 'pu' branch rather than the 'master' branch. And there're lots of 'Merge branch...' commits that aren't super interesting.)
Yes, totally! We picked some examples quickly just to demonstrate that people can do better "lol", "fix" or "meh". There is still room for improvements and we have better ones, too.
