Abstract :
Software developers use commit comments to document changes and as a mean of communication in their team. However, the support given by IDEs is restricted with this respect, as they limit the users to use only text to document changes. In this paper we propose and implement an approach to enrich commit comments with software visualization: Commit 2.0 generates visualizations of the performed changes at different granularity levels, and let the user enrich them with annotations.
