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?

		One particular cynical reading of that could be "the day I'm held responsible for my code is the day I quit".

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)

		Poe's law strikes again. But really, there is no way to tell you weren't serious, considering the commenter you replied to most certainly is. I mean, look at this abomination: https://github.com/denys-olleik/alternative-accounting/commi...
