I'm not going to bother responding to your email point by point, as I have very little else to say.

I am telling you that as a reviewer of git patches, I found the more verbose message by Jonathan to be much easier to review than your one-line description. You may disagree. I offer my experience merely as a data point, and I will let others draw their own conclusions. If you want to ignore me, that's your right, but I don't see any point in arguing further about it.
