i'm sorry if this is considered accepted practice in FreeBSD (i'm not a
committer) but could i please request more useful commit messages than
"Regen" for things like this?

when looking through 'git log', especially 'git log --format=oneline',
it's really not clear what this commit actually does, meaning if i'm
looking through the log for commits related to a problem i'm having, i
have to examine commits like this by hand to see if they're related.

it would save me (and other people, i suppose) a lot of time if the
commit message could at least mention what it's touching, e.g. "Regen
sys/compat/freebsd32/freebsd32_sysent.c".
