| Header line: explaining the commit in one line | |
| Body of commit message is a few lines of text, explaining things | |
| in more detail, possibly giving some background about the issue | |
| being fixed, etc etc. | |
| The body of the commit message can be several paragraphs, and | |
| please do proper word-wrap and keep columns shorter than about | |
| 74 characters or so. That way "git log" will show things | |
| nicely even when it's indented. | |
