File and ChangeSet Comments
A quick word on comments. Unlike some source control management systems,
BitKeeper requires per-file and per-cset comments. That is that each file
in a changeset needs a comment as well as an overall comment for the
changeset itself. Generally speaking, your per-file comments are meant to
describe the actual change to that file and maybe some detail about what
was changed. The changeset comment is more a summary of the overall change
being committed. You will see more of why this is a good thing when we start
looking back at the revision history through the revtool.
