I'm increasingly doubtful that commit messages should be entirely immutable. I sometimes find myself editing or commenting on merged pull requests, to help future readers. Phabricator appended a URL to commit messages, which helped. In principle PR merging could do the same thing.

Today I learnt that `cargo fix` won't fix code with compiler errors by default, but you can override this! $ cargo fix --broken-code --allow-dirty && cargo clippy --fix --allow-dirty This incantation does exactly what I wanted :)

I've dabbled with 'conventional commits' for a personal project but I found they slowed me down. It's not always easy to categorise a commit as a fix, a chore etc. Sometimes refactorings also fix bugs. Do you use them? I can imagine a large, mature project benefitting more.
