This commit log message is objectionable and totally inappropriate.
Revision numbers please?
Providing the revision numbers after the fact doesn't completely address my
objection to the incompleteness of this commit log message because the
commit log is now incomplete for all posterity. The revision numbers are
missing from the commit log and anyone going through the history of the
affected sources (I do that a lot) has no clue, except to try to piece
together what was backed out and search for replies to commit email to
provide a complete picture of what was done. Vital information is missing
from the commit log. Searching for answers to these questions is time
consuming and incomplete documentation is inconsiderate and disrespectful
of those who follow on figure out what and why.
Looking up mentor/mentee relationships, one can safely assume that your
mentor requested the backout. This too should have been documented in the
commit log message, e.g. "(mentor)".
At the very least revision numbers should be documented in a follow up
eamil.
