Believe me, I can read.

Just repeating the same words you already used in the commit message
is not helpful at all. Actually it I cannot help but consider this
affronting.

I did not understand the words there, and I don't understand them
here.

We need to do this. And am I now supposed to guess where  (i.  e.  in
which  spoecific file) we might need to do this or why and why it may
or may not be working? Come on. This is not an explanation.  This  is
just throwing words without any meaning at me.

I'm not willing to discuss on such a base.

Please try to explain in a understandable way what you mean (and than
use this understandable explanation for the commit message).

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
