Sorry people — that editing “trick” does **not work**. You end up with **two changes** , the first with the tags but no commit message. And the second with no changes but the entered commit message. And those together make **no sense**.

We really do need **dedicated commit message functionality** for direct edits to the title field and/or tags list. TIA.
