Thanks for the tip about git whence. But let's not use the existence of that tool as an invitation to put the "why" part of commits in GitHub PR messages instead of the git repo. On the submitter's side, both methods have the same cost, but for git log readers the former is more expensive (have to do extra lookup). Also, GitHub is centralized and requires online access.

Please say why a revert is made (in the commit message).

I agree with this request, but this was made in a PR, which is easily discoverable with
git whence
