When more of my day-to-day job involved reviewing long PRs, I also got grumpy over this kind of thing, so I am very sympathetic.

Perhaps it's just me, but I find the inability to add custom metadata to git commit really confusing considering this was always going to happen without it. Especially when you consider large organizations that might not have a single bug tracker or one that's connected directly to the git repo.

I don't have many complaints about git, but this has always confused me. Surely he must have known this was the inevitable side effect?
