> It can't help you figure out why Bill (who left the company a while back) set ThreadMax to 650 when he changed the code 6 months ago. There cold be a commit message that references it, but that's more disconnected from the change that just slapping a comment on top that says why.

Also worth noting is that not all config files are committed to version control as-is. If a deployment process bakes the config file from variables, it can be even more disconnected and difficult to find the change.
