As said before, I use them all the time through
git log | grep "whatever I am looking for"
or the interactive
git log
then "/" for searching inside the less command; I find it useful to a point
that I have moved to this style for all my coding projects.
So as far as I am concerned, they are tremendously useful. Well, that may
be due to a lack of git knowledge, of course! But while in other projects
I often find I need to look at the content of commits, in Guix it is often
enough to just look at the changelog.
