alt Hacker NewsYes, but not in the form of commit messages, the parent comment described things better suited to jira tickets, documentation etc.
It feels like we're trying really hard to stretch the utility of commit messages here...

You'll at least need the discipline to include the ticket ID in the message. Links to documentation are ok, but they will likely rot and even if they don't the content may change such that it no longer accurately reflects the commit changes.
Mainly I was pushing back on: the code is the "truth"
I don't feel that is an accurate statement for any complex system.
