Commit Messages for Pacman
Keeping track of packages can be hard, so I imagine a flag for pacman that would allow the user to type a message to be timestamped and logged.
Then the /var/log/pacman.log could look something like:
[2014-03-26 00:32] [PACMAN] Running 'pacman -S kdeconnect'
[2014-03-26 00:32] [JAMEH] Install app for hooking up android device
[2014-03-26 00:32] [PACMAN] installed kdeconnect (0.5.1-1)Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friends.

Re: Commit Messages for Pacman
What do you want to keep track of? Recently installed appliactions? Wouldn't "cat /var/log/pacman.log | grep installed" do the trick? Should filter everything pretty nicely.

Re: Commit Messages for Pacman
Why not just a script or shell function:
echo "$(date "+[%Y-%M-%d %H:%M]") [$(whoami)] $@" >> /var/log/pacman.logUse as `<scriptname> your message here`.
