+1 to that, especially the commit template and more descriptive commit 
messages.

In fact, attached is my attempt at such a template based on the Qt one.  It's 
a bit verbose as it's intended as an educational tool, once people know what's 
expected they can delete all the comments in their local copy.

If the Commit Digest guys want some tags added to make their life easier, now 
would be the time to speak up.
