I could now try to lie, that it's a versatile patented algorithm that understands english language in all it's dialects and makes a semantic analysis based on what would be important to our users (basically a digital model of a user from our target group).
But it is not generated automatically :(. The command that is shown in the log is just an example how to actually get the full log from git. (And it's wrong for 2.2, since that is now in it's own branch, /me fixes.)
