I used CVS and ClearCase before moving into Git, and it took me some time to adjust to the fact that the cost of branching in Git is much much less than ClearCase. And getting into the “distributed” mindset didn’t happen overnight.

      That’s excessively bureaucratic to the point of being useless in most cases.

      Hard and fast rules are generally bad and “squash everything” is pretty much a by definition hard and fast rule with the result being “I’m just not going to care that much about my commit messages.”

        What are you on? Non-descriptive commit messages has never been any of our problems. All our commits that are pushed to the main branch are well written with clear issues linked to them.
