Hi Jesse,

It would be good to put something in the commit message about why this
is happening, as it's not obvious to me at least.

Thanks,

Chris

Hi,

I'd prefer to change the subject to "gnu: vlc: Add MIDI support.".

Toggle quote (3 lines)
> It would be good to put something in the commit message about why this

I disagree in general because I've seen before what that leads to:
Half the source code (the comments) end up in the commit messages instead.
Eventually (because of some merge or something) those get lost, or
(because of a new commit) those get hidden.
Now someone is going to overlook it.

So I'd put documentation into comments, except when it's ephemeral ("news").

Also, in the special case of Guix the reason why we add an input later is
"we forgot to add it earlier and it was optional to the package and thus the
package built" most of the time. So the commit message would always be
"we forgot earlier".

In this case, vlc got MIDI support with vlc 0.9.0 (long ago) and nobody
noticed.

We could have the subject say "Add MIDI support" because it communicates more
clearly what this commit does for users. And that's the news :)

I'm not suggesting documenting code in commit messages, just saying
something about the motivation/intention with the change is useful. The
message you suggest meets this criteria perfectly.

So I would say that "we forgot earlier" isn't a motivation, or
descriptive of intent (although maybe it meets the "why this is
happening" I mentioned earlier, but that was maybe poorly explained)..

Yeah, I think that's good. At least in the context I was looking at
this, trying to review the change, knowing what the intent is allows me
to check if that's been satisfied (trying to play some MIDI content with
VLC before and after).

Sorry for not explaining the intention. Do you want me to send a new
patch mentioning the added MIDI support? Should I put that in the
commit title, or in a comment?

Sending a new patch would be great. Adding something anywhere in the
commit message is fine by me.

Thanks,
