I'm sorry but I cannot understand your point (this can be my poor english f= ault..). I'm talking about writing a Report, not about Vinum or in general software = development. If neither of us two can understand what each commit means, we cannot write= a report about the status of the project and we have to ask a developer to explain w= hat he did. After that we could write our report.
