Most Poetic Commit Log of the Year Award

Posted by timboudreau on April 29, 2006 at 01:12 AM | Comments (4)

I was going through old email, and my friend Jesse had pointed up my friend Jarda's commit log message as a candidate "Most Poetic Commit Log of the Year Award". What's the most amusing commit message you've read but neither incited nor written yourself? Here's Jarda's:

Hopeless in my own destiny, strugling to really improve the speedup of startup at least a bit, but always loosing my improvements as Sisyphus his stone, I am adding this little change to prevent tons and tons of ClassLoaderCache objects from creation. Now only a resonable number shall get created during 2nd and subsequent startup.

Of course, you can only do this award once - after that, everyone will be trying to be poetic in their commit messages and it all becomes meaningless :-)

  • You are not implying in any way that the above commit message has anything less in meaning, are you? :-P

  • My own personal quest is to get people to know the difference between 'loose' and 'lose'. Jarda is, of course, excused on the basis of poetic license, and because he is not a native English speaker. The rest of us have no excuse :)

  • My own personal quest (if I had any) would be to make people never ever commit log messages saying "I made some changes." Aaarrgh. ;-)
