Both require searching. You have a lot of commits, most of them are neither fixes nor features. Fixes and features are only things that have changed since the version before. Most commits are fixes (or changes) to recently changed code. The "feature:" is searchable thanks to the colon, so it's essentially the same as what I'm suggestion, but the # there is a colon and at the end and not the beginning. The only different to that in my suggestion, is that I'm allowing it to be anywhere in the commit message, as to not litter the all too short summary line. > >> While allowing: >> >> "Evas textblock: @fix issue with bla." > > That would actually be a better choice.

It's meant for machines. Machines can easily look at the whole log, find the relevant commits, and then print the list in whatever way the maintainer likes. -- Tom. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Managing the Performance of Cloud-Based Applications Take advantage of what the Cloud has to offer - Avoid Common Pitfalls.
