I'm checking in a software module that I checked out back in December (rcs, for any Unix folks who might happen to read this), meaning it's available to be modified by me and only me. When I check it in I'm supposed to include a log message that briefly explains the mod. I list the changed code and can't remember why I made the change. In fact I don't even remember making it. This is third-party software to which we apply local mods, so I go looking in last year's archive of the vendor's tech help list for info. I find a nice thorough explanation right away: in a message posted by me.
