What I understand is this.  The logs since github started being used are
no longer updated like they used to be.  I realize that git is a command
but it seems that git gets its info from github since the logs are no
longer downloaded when I sync the tree.  It was really nice to be able
to see those logs and be able to find out what changed especially if you
want to hold off on a update that isn't important.  Generally, the only
way to know if it is important or not is to look at the logs and see why
something is being changed.   Also, I don't want to turn into Duncan and
write a book to be sure that every specific detail is covered.  I try to
keep it short and basic. 

If the problem is me not understanding the problem then why are others
complaining about the missing logs too?  If it was just me then I would
be the only one complaining about them being no longer updated. 
Obviously, it is not just me.  Well, obvious to some but maybe not some
others.  We just want the logs back so we can see what is going on and
for it to be easily available, preferably done with the sync like it
used to be.  The recent changes broke that and it needs to be fixed.
