Personally, I would love it if more people tried harder to provide
meaningful commit messages.

"bup" vs "bump" isn't really achieving much, just one of the two are
substantially more egregious.

Perhaps, if the commit messages were crafted with clarity as their
intent, the consequence of accidental typos would be much more
inconsequential.

( I seriously think we could do with a *little* more chiding here than
we generally see, but like, I'm typically just biting my tongue every
time somebody doesn't invest any more effort than to write the word
"bump" in their text editor when committing with repoman, cos I really
don't want to be a dick about it. There's room for more than 4
characters and a space in the subject, and infinitely more space in the
body, why do we have to choose the least clear of all options? )

Occasional accidents are still gonna happen, but it would be nice if we
didn't define accidents and siblings of accidents as the status quo.
