Another misleading commit log (was Re: A "cosmetic changes" commit that removes security fixes) |

Here's another commit with a blatantly misleading commit log:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/commit/?h=wip-gnome&id=f5fc3c609e2f38ca1c0523deadb9f77d838fbf32
The summary line is "gnu: gdk-pixbuf: Add missing arguments", but in
fact it does all of the following:
(1) Ungrafts 'gdk-pixbuf'.
(2) Updates 'gdk-pixbuf' from 2.40.0 to 2.42.2.
(3) Removes the 'disable-failing-tests' phase.
(4) Adds "#:meson ,meson-0.55" and "#:glib-or-gtk? #t" to the arguments.
Most of the changes above are not mentioned in the commit log at all,
and of course the summary line is extremely misleading.
This commit was digitally signed and pushed to the 'wip-gnome' branch by
Raghav, but it's also "Signed-off-by: Léo Le Bouter", so I'm not sure
who bears primary responsibility for this one.
