@BestGirlGrace @darius I'm legitimately a bit confused because I never use -v, I just use `git commit` and the diff pops up in my text editor ready for me to write a nice verbose commit message, as is my wont. Do people routinely change repo or local settings to make `-v` necessary?

@BestGirlGrace @darius Ohhh sorry I see, the *full* diff. I suppose variable autocompletion would be nice! I tend to trawl through `git diff` as a step beforehand so seeing the specifics of the diff didn't even occur to me, heh, whoops.

@BestGirlGrace @darius Absolutely do the 2 or 3 tier approach to my commit messages as described here, with the modification that I generally acquiesce to the standard form at my work where we put the bugtracker issue ID at the start of a commit. Unfortunately most of the computer engineers at my work will put *just* that issue ID with maybe some very terse "description", like

> BugID:999 - Commit fix

which means reading back through the commit log *requires* cross referencing our bugtracker.
