You seem to have forgotten to update the proposed log message ... https://lore.kernel.org/git/de40e0ed-ca12-41b0-acd0-3c594078cc14@app.fastmail.com/ (local) ... to avoid making it just an enumeration of "these random things were done in this patch" (and instead tell a coherent story).
Thanks for the reminder, will work on that. I just realized today that I can use `lazygit` to make it much faster to edit my log messages :)
I do not understand "switches commits". When you move to a commit (i.e. your HEAD can point directly at a commit without referring to any branch), are you switching one commit with another? I do not think users would view it that way. Phrasing it with "switch to" may make it easier to handle. Then your previous state would not matter as much.
Agreed that "switches commits" is weird, will use "switches to".
