the consequences of the Git migration for Enzyme

This morning I was reviewing commits and noticed that Enzyme also reads commits from Git now. However, this introduces a 
few problems:

I can’t view the details for the commits in Git because they aren’t linked like the commits to Subversion in Enzyme. I assume 
links to commit details will be implemented for Git too?

With Git I see commits with comments mentioning that a branch was merged quite often. For example, if you take a look at 
https://projects.kde.org/projects/playground/artwork/oxygen-gtk/activity you see the same comment ‘Merge branch '1.0'’ 
showing up very often. If you view the commits for details there, it doesn’t show any changes that were introduced by the 
commit. So far I’ve excluded all comments mentioning a branch merge because they simply aren’t descriptive, but I do not 
know if this is the right choice, because I don’t know what changes were introduced with the merger?

Currently all Git commits are not automatically assigned to an ‘area’ in ‘Classify’, unlike the commits from Subversion. Danny 
mentioned in one of his e-mails yesterday that he intends to add a user interface in Enzyme so we can control the automatic 
sorting of commits in ‘areas’. I was wondering Danny, do you have any idea when that feature is ready? With the percentage 
of commits from Git increasing, classifying is becoming a more time-consuming task as long as the automatical assigning of 
‘areas’ for commits is not available.

Slightly off-topic, I wonder if it’s possible to also automatically assign the type for classifying in certain cases? For example, 
every commit with a bug report could be automatically assigned the bug fix type. Also, I notice some developers use 
keywords in their commits which could be used to automatically determine the type, such as ‘optimize’, ‘fix’ and ‘feature’.
