The names given to the commits are... peculiar.

Tbh I’m (loosely) following commit message best practices in all of my projects out of irrational fear of being viewed as unprofessional. But never needed that effing prose in my workflow. Maybe a keyword from time to time. I’m using code, not messages to navigate history, and in a rare occasion. If all my messages turned into “i” I’d lose nothing, because all rationales and essentials are in code comments. I’d better seen dates (and related grouping) in a log by default and looked for a commit by some grepping patch contents rather than messages.

"Native refiner swap inside one single k-sampler. The advantage is that now the refiner model can reuse the base model's momentum (or ODE's history parameters) collected from k-sampling to achieve more coherent sampling. In Automatic1111's high-res fix and ComfyUI's node system, the base model and refiner use two independent k-samplers, which means the momentum is largely wasted, and the sampling continuity is broken…

As a frontend developer, this reads to me as technobabble you'd find in entertainment media. In general, I learn about things not directly related to my sphere of interests by osmosis, but this is on another level. Reminds me of the time when I started my computing journey. I wonder if I'll be able to understand this eventually just by reading a relevant comment or blog here and there.

Commit comments are how you find code diffs.

Focus on what/why in your commit messages.

If you can’t articulate that in your commit messages, I can almost guarantee you’re thinking deeply enough about your code changes.

The image is produced by sampling the model, which is the most computationally intensive process in the pipeline. Stable Diffusion XL consists of several parts which have to be sampled separately, losing the context in the process. This samples both parts in a way that no context is lost, improving the result.

Interesting, and I look forward to using it, but I wish the distribution had kept the folder-name conventions of AUTOMATIC1111, so that we could more easily have used symbolic links for folders of LoRAs and checkpoints etc. that we'd rather not duplicate.

i’m sure there are ways around it no?
