Yes, I agree we should do this. My commit messages look like: sys-apps/systemd-243-r2: ppc64 stable, bug 698766 net-misc/mosh-1.3.2: added ~alpha In the past people have argued that the version in the title is superfluous since you can get the same info from git (log|show) --stat but the same (misguided argument) can be used to justify something absurd like simply making the bug number the subject. Honestly, just put the dang version in the title.
