+=== 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.
