A title as uninformative as the single . commit messages he suggests writing.
Bare minimums of typo, refactor, whitespace, comments are barely any effort – less than the thought it takes to name variables and functions.
I really can’t agree with completely meaningless messages like minor and .

Git is a lot of things at once:
- A tool to record development history - warts and all
- A tool to create a logical sequence of changes
- A tool to communicate intent and ideas to a maintainer
Meaningless messages like minor and . don’t suit any of these roles - not even 1. Even when recording development history with all mistakes, you’d still need context when you look back at the history. Matklad is a well respected developer. I wonder why he’s make such a bizarre claim.
