Having this in the documentation as limitations of the approach helps,
but I'm not seeing this on this specific patch, where I think it should
be.
Furthermore probably its a good idea to have this as a warning on the
actual output of the tool, no?
Generally having cool commit log messages, as this one has, is great,
but people have difficulty looking at docs, imagine expecting them to
read commit log messages... :-)
