Yes, absolutely.  The typical Git style has no period at the end. See, 
for example, "The seven rules of a great git commit message" 
<http://chris.beams.io/posts/git-commit/>, one of which is "Do not end 
the subject line with a period". This is a slight change from the style 
we've mostly been using, which has a period.

Perhaps we should change to the typical Git style.  We might also prefer 
to shorten the summary lines to 50 characters, as that is is also part 
of the usual Git style.
