Re: merges

Yes. I think they are useful for all branches if you backport a patch for
a particular fix or e.g. fix something that is not yet fixed on the trunk
and will be only when a particular devel branch with that fix is merged
into trunk. But in all cases that should be a single commit to fix a
particular bug (or a set of closely related bugs). Plain merges from
other branches should just say what branch, perhaps revisions were merged.
I agree. Long log messages might be useful for a revision, but not for
all the bugs affected -
if the commit message is larger than xxx bytes, the bugs should get a
message from a short
template with the revision(s) involved and a link to the commit message
filled in.
