ok, but did they have to make commit message required, or is there a way to disable it? i think of git as checkpoints, nothing more. the day i have to explore history is the day i quit.

To understand your point of view, is this because you have seen very bad commit messages (I have too!) like "fixed" repeating 700 times and now come to believe it's a pointless thing in the grand scheme of things anyway?

Huh? I do that all the time, and it's really useful. What is difficult or problematic about it?

totally. the fact git-quicksave isn't a standard command that commits with an "Autosave" message is pretty short-sighted.

      If it wasn't obvious I am not serious. On the contrary I'm actively making contributions to jujutsu (none involving a quicksave command... yet)
