Yeah, please do.
You put so much effort to scenario and you are nailing the bug
that way, and I do appreciate that, so here's what you should do
with the commit messages:
1. Do the first half like you always do. That's great. And I've
also said that.
2. Think just a moment. If you get anxiety from that something
that should be mentioned e.g., something that you did not get
immediately yourself at first, write remarks those down. I'm
100% sure you know when it might be good tip on something
non-obvious.
3. Send that. If we feel it is lacking some info needed, let's
iterate that. It's not a big deal.
I'm just underlining this because so little would have to be
improved to make this right :-)
Br, Jarkko
