Problem/Motivation

When we add a new node, would it be more user friendly to hide "Revision log message" field on Node add form?
Related to issue https://www.drupal.org/node/2744877 which hides the 'create new revision' checkbox on node add form.

Not sure we should do this, I think there may be valid use cases for providing a "commit message" for your first "commit" of a post :)

I also think, it makes sense to keep the log-field. Maybe the wording could be different for node-creation:
instead of: "Briefly describe the changes you have made." - it would be better to have something without the word "changes" - because there are no changes yet.
Maybe "Initial creation notes" ?

The path setting for same is-

Admin >> Structure >> Content Type >> SELECT CONTENT TYPE >> Manage fields >> Edit >> uncheck the revision box.
