Some of my colleagues use special comments on their bug fixes, for example:
// 2008-09-23 John Doe - bug 12345 // <short description>
Does this make sense?
Do you comment bug fixes in a special way?
Please let me know.

I don’t put in comments like that, the source control system already maintains that history and I am already able to log the history of a file.
I do put in comments that describe why something non-obvious is being done though. So if the bug fix makes the code less predictable and clear, then I explain why.
