I agree with Jason that the change log should include a list of changes rather than problem statements. After all, it is a *change* log and not a *problem* log. :-) Just a brief summary of the change is all that's needed and I personally find this much more helpful than a one line description of a problem taken from the JIRA. Of course, the description should also include a reference to the JIRA.

I also agree with Donald (and I suspect Jason does too) that the JIRA is the right place for all the gory details on the problem and solution.

So, can we agree to keep the details in the JIRA but have a brief descriptive statement of what changed in the commit log rather than a statement of the problem?

I completely disagree. The change log should contain context of the change, and not just the link to JIRA.

Providing a link to the JIRA makes more sense, as it can contain the full description of the fix, which releases it went in, any coreq/prereqs like OpenEJB or TranQL changes, if multiple patches and/or commits were required, .....

As long as everyone adds real problem and solution descriptions in the JIRAs, I'm fine with only providing a link back to it in a commit, which lots of people before Vamsi have done in the past without complaint :-)

As I mentioned... I really do not want to have to bounce from commit messages to JIRA to provide oversight into the changes going into our SVN repo. Also, when something does break, I am going to want to look back through the SVN logs and find meaningful context to changes. In this case "GERONIMO-2458 MapEditor does not work" does not tell me what was changed, only tells me what was wrong. IMO SVN is the definitive location for changes... and those changes should be properly adorned with context of the change.

Please... please... please... put more context into the commit log.
"MapEditor does not work" tells me nothing about what was actually changed. When auditing changes it helps to have some context to the change in the commit log so that its easy to comprehend what the change was, with out having to dig around, or bounce into JIRA, etc. I've mentioned this a few times before... while its is good to include the JIRA issue ID, only including that ID, or in this case the ID and the issue subject, in the SVN commit message is not sufficient. Please... please... please... try to put some more meaningful context into commit messages.
Thanks,
