Please + write commit messages in the following format: + +=== begin example commit === + + Short explanation of the commit + + Longer explanation explaining exactly what's changed, whether any + external or private interfaces changed, what bugs were fixed (with bug + tracker reference if applicable) and so forth. Be concise but not too + brief. + +=== end example commit === + + - Always add a brief description of the commit to the _first_ line of + the commit and terminate by two newlines. This may be the title of + a fixed bug, copied from Bugzilla. + + - First line (the brief description) must only be one sentence and + should start with a capital letter unless it starts with a + lowercase symbol or identifier. Don't use a trailing full stop, + and don't exceed 72 characters. + + - The main description (the body) is normal prose and should use + normal punctuation and capital letters where appropriate. + + - When committing code on behalf of others use the --author option, + e.g. git commit -a --author "Joe Coder <joe@coder.org>" and + --signoff. |
