But that is not how one is going to read the source code in a year or
so. In a year I will look at at file, run 'git gui annotate <file>' and
from the lines can find the corresponding patch. Then from there on
continue on to get the other patches.
The point is that in a year or so, the writeup you did will be
forgotten. If it is part of the _patch_ then it will not be.
If that means the git commit description has a couple of paragraphs
- that is OK.
